Tub Sizes

I am trying to see what the popular tub size for BP's about 700 grams and bigger. I've heard some keep their bp's in 32qt's, and some with 41 qt and bigger. So what do you use?

i use 32 qt tubs my biggest female is 1200g so i prob will stick with 32 unless one goes over 2000g

All of my 2009 and up BPs are in 32 qt tubs. I have several over 1600 grams currently and my biggest was over 2500 grams until she laid her clutch and she still fit in her 32qt without issue. I would maybe think about a 41 qt if I had a female over 3000 grams but not beforehand at this point.

My biggest is about 1500 grams, and she is in a 32qt. Its big enough, but I think I am going to start putting the bigger snakes into the v-70 tubs. That is of course after I buy a new rack.

Males stay in 32qt tubs for life. Females switch over to 41qt tubs around 1800-2000 grams. There are some exceptions but that's my basic guideline. A 2000-2500 gram female and a 1200-1500 gram male in a 32qt tub for breeding seems like it would be a bit crowded.

15 for juvies. 31 for adult males and subadult females. Real big females will probably end up in 41qt.

Regards,

I did it..female was over 2500..male was over 1400...got the job done. A little cramped...maybe..but less room for error haha.

We use Iris CB70 gives some extra for a good gradient and a big water bowl and hide.

with hides, or without? My smaller snakes have them

I keep males in 32qt and put females in 41 qt once they get breeding size.
