    Best Tub?
    I was wondering what you guys think the best tub size to use for an adult ball python would be?
    I was thinking a sterlite 1960 or bigger....
    D oyou think bigger is better?

    The Sterilite 1960 is fine for adult bps.

    i use the 41 qt sterilite tubs, they are big enough. but i second adam on the iris cb-70 tubs. the iris tubs are completely smooth on the inside and this helps alot in cleaning and staying cleaner. the rubbermaid and sterilite tubs have ridges and grooves that can be a pain to get 100% clean. my next tubs will be iris.

    really? a full grown ball can live in a CB70 - Dimensions: 17 3/4"W x 33 1/2"L x 6"H

    only 6" high? considering how thick they get, they couldn't even coil in that size viv could they???

    confused again,

    6" is plenty deep. They don't get THAT fat. ;)

    I love iris tubs. The company doesn't change the tub sizes every time you turn around, and there aren't all these unnecessary grooves for snakie poo to get stuck in.

    well i'm just thinking... there needs to be space for the hide, and then the snake...

    i guess you don't have driftwood or something in there for them to climb on a little? so far my new little boy loves to climb all over his driftwood.

    i was just thinking, a full grown would want maybe 12"?

    edited to add: nice gallery on deviant!!! ;) i go there a lot for covers for my magazine :P and my hubby and my tattoos are there under "aleesha"
