    What Size Tub for Adult BP?

    I'm wondering what size tub you guys recommend for an adult BP in a rack system?

    I've currently got all my snakes in separate cages but I want to get a rack for them to make it easier to control their temps and what not as well as just to free up space.

    well you cant just put a little snake in an adult sized tub


    but if you had adults it would you could build one

    i would use 41 quart sterilites if you want to save money. Its either that or Iris CB70 tubs which are $13, and the 41 quarts are $7

    41 quarts for large adults/females.
    32 quarts for most males.

    In my opinion, not all females require a 41 quart. All my adult males are in 32 qt sweaterboxes and all but my largest females as well. The largest females are in CB70 tubs. I've found more problems with consistent feeding in my collection with snakes in a tub too large rather than one on the smaller side.

    Great thanks, I've got only adults ATM and I want to get them and my mexican boas (similar requirements) into a rack system but I wasn't sure what size tubs to use.

    good luck with the rack. i hope to build one soon. it will be so much neater and easier to maintain all of them with them in racks.

    Hey Jamie,

    I am in a debate on this, how do your snakes breed in the 32qts? Do they have enough room?

    Most of my adult females are housed and bred in 28 qt rubbermaids...

    I do have a few really big ones in 32 qt and about 5 in CB 70's.
