    I have had female reaching that size at 18 months and some that reached that size at 6 years, it's VERY variable.

    The racks you are looking t for an animal that size and bigger is the one using V70 tubs, I have some 3500 & 4000 grams girls in those and generally I move them in those around 2000 grams.

    ^^^^ Like Deborah said and I would add unpredictable on top of it. I have a brother and sister where she grew faster than him for the first year then he overtook her in the second. They are eating the exact same amount of food.

    I'm not an expert on BPs by any means so I wouldn't doubt if I'm doing this wrong, but... I keep my BPs of varying sizes in a rack that holds 41qt (cb70) tubs. I have a 3000g female, a 1000g male, and two 450g male/female in that size tubs. For the big girl I give her one hide, the big boy I have two hides, and for the little ones I give them two reptile basics hides as well as two half logs each so that the tub is filled up and doesn't stress them out by being too big/empty. They all eat/poop/shed perfectly and I haven't had any problems so far.

    I just use 41qt---cb70 tubs and just add xtra hides for them as they are smaller. As they grow I take some hides out. When they hit 700g or so I just remove the hides all together and just keep a water bowl in there. They do very well.
