    What size tub and mice?
    I was wondering what size tubs a ball python would need as it progresses through life. And also how do you know what size mice or rats to feed your bp?

    Tubs:

    Hatchling - Shoebox
    Yearling - 15 to 28qt depending on growth rate
    Adults - 41qt
    Monsters - Bigger than 41qt

    Feeders:

    Forget mice, they are a waste of time and money. Get your balls started on rats. Much better for them. Even the smallest hatchlings can take appropriately sized rats. Rule of thumb is as big around as the fattest part of thier bodies or 10-15% of thier body weight every 7 days.
