    I have snakes that size in 6 quarts. Pretty much my balls are in 6 quarts until they are about 400+ grams.

    I place mine straight into sterilite 28qt from target. I just got 110g Spider doing great.

    I think as long as they feel secure an it is not too big, size is just a preference.

    At what point do you guys think they should go into the 41qt tubs?

    I use dividers in my 32q RBI racks for hatchlings. So 16q until theyre over 400-500g

    Most adult males will be fine in a 32q for life. Adult females over 2000g I switch to 41q.

    41qt most people use for bigger and/or breeding females. Most of the time people leave their males in 28/32qt.

    Thats a realy good Idea, what do you use for dividers? Although I dont have a rack yet.

    You can purchase ones made for the RBI 32q racks. They work awesome.

    I use 6 quart or 15 quart tubs for hatchlings/juveniles, depending on their size/weight.
