    27 qt sterelite

    I am about to start aquiring a bunch more ball pythons to grow out and eventually start breeding. (now I only have a normal female). I am also going to start keeping them in tubs instead of the custom wooden cage type of enclosure my girl is in.
    My question is...Can a full grown male (i believe its full grown size is 2-3 feet...right?) spend its adult life in a 27 qt tub? I would be interested to know what sizes other people use for the different stages of the BP's life...Thanks
    (I did a forum search and I couldn't find the answer)

    I think a 41 qt is more appropriate for a full-grown. For my biggest I use the 66qt. The 27 qt would be good for sub-adults, and the shoebox size 12 qt or 15qt would be good for babies.
