One rack for multiple sized bp?
Right now I have one 1700 gram pastel female and one 900 gram normal male and I was considering on buying an animal plastic rack to expand my collection and minimize as much space as I can. I just moved to a small apartment so I only have space for one rack and breeding is not an option right now.
Knowing I have a big female and a normal sized male and If I get new snakes they will probably be juvenile snakes; my question is: Should I just buy the 41qt rack and put every snake I get with extra hides or is it really necessary to have different sized tubs for each of them? What rack would you recommend?

it's not absolutely necessary, but if you do it and run into stress related problems, I'd probably suspect that first. With that in mind, I have a hatchling female (around 180 grams now) in a 41 qt AP rack and she eats/poops/sheds just fine.

I have two 41-qt 8-tub racks that house everything from a 300 gr male to an 1800 gr female. They are all fine. Just make sure the smaller snakes have appropriate-sized hides, and you can clutter up the tub with crumpled newspaper to give the little guys more security as well.

She likes it so much she didn't even bother to leave when I left her tub slid out all night long last week...:oops:
