    Proper tub size for balls?

    this is partly for me, and also for a document I am going to write on housing for my Wiki

    i have seen a lot of discussions on this, and thought maybe a new topic and new take on this would help smooth out good answers for myself and others

    so what in reality should the wight>size ratio be for ball>QT for tubs?

    I figure with enough responses I can come up witha good solid ratio

    Anyone have thoughts on this?

    Advice would be great!

    Re: Proper tub size for balls?

    Heres my old topic about this, it has a lot of good answers in it!
    http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=71433

    Personally I'm going to go with this;
    Hatchling-150g : 6quart
    150g-500g : 15q
    500g-1700g : 32q (males permanently)
    1700g+ : 41q

    For my cornsnakes, it's completely different.
    That's my solid ratio from my old thread that I came up with. :]

    Edit:
    actually your thread covers it pretty damn good! thank you

    probably let this one die unless anyone has anything new to add

    How about proper size for people (like me) who choose to keep snakes in reptile cages???
