Making the move to tubs. Advice?

I'm going to be moving my bp out of his aquarium into a setup that's more space-friendly for owning multiple bp's in the near future because I'm expecting to add at least another two to my collection and potentially breeding in the future when they're all up to size.

So basically I need advice on all of the basics, like what size tubs should I get (my bp is young now, just under 2 feet, but maybe I should go for a size that he can grow into?), and how to I go about with the heating gradient, etc. because I am new to tubs. Any advice is much appreciated.

A tub too big will stress him out. A tub too small, he will outgrow within months. If you are buying or building a rack, I suggest go with adult tubs and space some of it off to make the tubs smaller like use a 40qt tub and block half of it off. If not you can build a rack that can hold different size tubs like 28qt and the 40qts. If you do plan to get more BPs, for young ones, i suggest 6qts then move up to 28s.

Thanks. So I'll build a rack to hold the 40 qts and I'll just block them off like that, so I only need to move the spacer back when the snake gets bigger.

i think you should treat as you did when you first put him into the tank. throw some clutter in if its too big and leave the snake be for a while to avoiding adding more stress to him moving.
