What size of sterilite tubs do you guys use for bp hatchling racks?

[Peter Williams]

I'm thinking of building a hatchling rack soon, and I'm just wondering what is the usual size used for hatchling bp's?

[ADEE]

I know alot of people use the shoebox size.. (the one with the pic of a high heel on it) I personally am using 15qt bins for my 100+g animals and 32qt for animals 600+g

i would check out on kingsnake.com and take a look at all the different rack builders/suppliers and check out what they use

6qt for babies

6 QT here.

When speaking to some of the breeders we got snakes from they said the shoe box was good and if you stick a hatchling in something to big they may start to feel insecure and not eat.

I'm taking a break as I type from building a 6qt rack for hatchlings.

[MATT FISHER REPTILES]

i use 12 qt.

[Subzero]

6qt is fine if you plan on getting rid of them, I would use 15 if you plan on keeping them to raise up because they would last you a year or so. 15 is a little large for a baby but if you put two hides and a water bowl in it it works out fine.

Also you can put two 15 qt's in one shelf and later but one 32qt sideways in the same shelf.

6 quart shoebox

15 qt. with a small shallow bowl and a hide for newborns. I've never had problems with babies not eating. When they get over 200g I move them to the 32's. When they get over 600g, they go into the longer FB tubs.
