Here's my tub to weight ratio list:


6 qt - for hatchlings
16 qt - 500 or less grams
28/32 qt - 2000 or less grams
41 qt - 2000 + gram adults

32quarts is what i use. Big females will get 41qts. The reptile basics sweaterbox rack is perfect for them! :gj:

Oh yea duhhh lol. I have hatchlings in smaller tubs. I was talking about adults up there^.

thank very much for your help both of you. another question, do you know the qt sizes for the tubs like the cb-70 the v-18 and stuff like that? cuz i been looking at racks from Cserpents.com and hes runs the normal 6 qt tub but he also runs the v-18 for his smaller tubs. whats the biggest you would recommend keep in that tub and the other tubs people don't seem to list by qt size?

The CB-70 is a 41 qt tub. So you can keep large adults in these.
And I don't know what the v-18 is.

Those are 41qt tubs. Really the only think you put in 41qt tubs is large females. Males don't generally get big enough to need to put them in large tubs like that. Also you may find that some females will not eat in 41qt tubs. My Albino female absolutely refuses to eat in anything bigger than a 32.
