    What size tubs
    I would like to move my corn snake into a tub as well as hog nose and ball pythons. What size tubs should I use for adults? 28 quart seems a little small but the 32 isn't much bigger and the only other size ive found suitable is the 41 quart which I'm worried may be a little large.

    I am using (not sure how many quarts) but it's like 32" x 19" x 13". It looks rather big but it's only a little bit bigger than my 20 gallon long glass tank. I'm sure you can safely go smaller than that. As long as the sides and back are blacked out with covering it should be fine. Good luck.

    They are deep enough... Most of the breeders I know have tubs around that depth...

    Yeah I can understand breeders and people with a million snakes using them for space saving too....maybe I'm just a softie and want to make sure they have stretching room...idk lol

    28 and 32 qt are basically the same size, the 28 qt are just a little shorter. I have most of mine in either 28 or 32 qt. Corns and balls, and they do fine. Big female ball Pythons may require a 41 qt.

    I've been also thinking the same... I know most people go with the 32q for their snakes and the occasional 41q for larger females, I just didn't see how tho. I have most my snakes in 20L and even those seem kinda small for them when they start getting bigger, and 32q=8g? I'm assuming its not so bad cause most of the space is spread out vertically and not upright like on a tank? I have now 8 tanks in my spare bedroom so I was really looking into a rack either making myself or building, but like Lgray23 I kinda felt bad sticking them in a 'drawer' lol
