    Female ball python tub

    I was wondering, will female ball pythons eventually "require" 41 qt tub? even if they are not going to breed?
    I am planning on adding female ball and I need to build a rack but don't know if I should build the rack for 34 qt or 41 qt.
    Not breeding, not trying to grow it fast or anything, just a pet treated like my male ball.

    Honestly, I don't see any big difference between 34 and 41 sterlite. 41qt is longer but narrower, 34 is little shorter but wider.

    Re: Female ball python tub

    Most females will eventually get big enough that a 41 quart tub will be cramped.
    I keep mine in a 55 quart tub and she has only a little room to move around and thermoregulate.
    34 quart is way to small for an adult ball python

    Generally it is considered that the floor space be a MINIMUM of the length and width as long as your ball python.
    So a 60” snake would require a 36” long and 24” wide enclosure or larger. Which is what the HOMZ 56 quart underbed storage tubs are, that I use.

    34 quart is only 42” length and width combined.
