    Tub for adult BP

    Hi everyone, I'm looking into getting an adult BP from someone, a 4 foot female. Due to space, I will need to house it in a tub. Can someone fill me in on husbandry for an adult BP in a tub and far as size goes/ any tips or tricks you guys may have to housing one successfully? All help is appreciated, thank you!

    how much does she weigh? big adults/females are usually kept in a 41qt tub. fake christmas tree storage tubs are the perfect size, but more affordable during the season.

    a 41qt fits even the biggest females, so that'd be your best bet.

    I use these for all my pythons. latching-clear-storage-56-qt
    HOMZ 56 quart tubs, 30"x24" 6.25" tall. Really cheap at K-mart! Walmart, Home Depot and other places has them for way more $ for some reason. Has latches, but they are not strong, so you will need more security. I just use them in a rack system, so I throw the lids away and slide them out like a drawer, in my rack shelves.

    Rack with 4 of the large tubs:

    ADULT in the tub:

    SUBADULT in the same size tub:

    HATCHLING in the same 56 quart tub.

    What kind of water bowl are you using in the picture? the red bowl. Could I possibly get the link to buy one? thank you.
