    What size tubs should I use during my ball python's life cycle?
    I've mentioned in an earlier thread on how I'm trying to downsize the amount of space I use, and tubs seem pretty cost and size efficient. I've already figured out what I'm going to use for my hognose, but I'm clueless on my BPs :(

    Anyone mind walking me through the size tubs I will need for babies, juveniles, and adults?

    Right out of the egg - 12qt or 15qt

    Juveniles - 24qt

    Adult males/subadult females - 32qt

    Large adult males/adult females - 41qt

    Keep in mind that tubs are only effective if the room they are in can be kept warm enough (at least 75 degrees)

    Well, I have a spare bedroom which I like to call my reptile room, which I used to have tanks everywhere and it was pretty cluttered. I'm just going to build some racks and place them against the walls and make it nice and neat.

    Heating is no problem because it has it's own heating/ac unit.

    Sounds good, if possible I would keep it around 78-82 degrees for ball pythons. I don't know much about hognose so I don't know what the ideal ambiant temp is for them.
