    an adult or sub-adult. If your planning to put a baby in there try crumpling up paper towel or newspaper and put it in there so the baby feels secure.

    Re: Tub Size

    I am sure it would be. Do you know how old (approx) or how much the snake weighs?
    Length is really not a good way to measure a ball python.

    There are many different opinions on this. I would go up a tub size.

    I was kind of speaking in general terms, such as a breeder female.

    Re: Tub Size

    I know some people are okay with putting breeder females in 32's...personally, I prefer to put them in 41's. 32's are kinda tight for those bigger females.
