Re: proper size tub / rack
Since you don't have any immediate plans for breeding and you want to get the T8, I say just go with that. Give your girl time to grow up and if you do plan on breeding in the future, get a 41qt rack for your girls and a 32qt rack for your boys (they don't need a 41 qt but you can put them in those tubs if you would like). Then, you can worry about the space heater, etc. This will also give you a little time to save up for racks, a herpstat 4 (so your rack, incubator, and baby racks can all be on the same thermostat), and food/supplies for any babies you produce.
Re: proper size tub / rack
so you only need one thermostat for a rack no matter how many tubs you have? Defitely a hobbyist here so I was thinking a 4 tub 2 males 2 females would be fine and then a separate for hatchlings, although i've seen the posts on the inevitable addiction as well. Just dont want to go broke buying a bunch of enclosures that i get rid of in a year or two. I'm already scrapping the one i've got. Thanks a lot for the input btw.
Re: proper size tub / rack
That sounds like a reasonable plan. I'll be giving animal plastics a call tomorrow. With these two girls to start with

That is a tough call. If you get a rack and have empty tubs, you will most definitely fill them faster than you had originally intended. However, a T8 wouldn't be a bad idea either. It wouldn't be a waste of money that's for sure! You could always just leave your two prettiest snakes in the T8 and then have a rack for the others.
Yeah when I'm going to move my dumerils into her permanent enclosure it will be a t8 then have my bps in the rack I built.
