    Are those tubs big enough to house a fully grown ball python. Even the big females? I need to know soon because I want to put in the order this week, hopefully today for one and I need to know if that is what I need.

    For males maybe, but I wouldn't put a full-grown female in there. Not much room to stretch out or properly thermoregulate. I like to use the 41qt tubs for my bigger girls. They always seem like they are stretched out alongside the tub.

    I agree...all my boys and juvi girls are in 32QT tubs but my breeder girls are all in 41QT (ARS Tubs) -they need the space especially for breeding (when you have 2 in there :) )

    Does Reptile Basics have a 41qt rack?

    Look at the CB-70 rack. It only has 3 tubs though.

    Those prices are why I build my own :) I know my 6-tub 41qt rack and my 8(or 16) tub 32qt(or 15qt) rack together cost about as much as that one 3-tub rack.

    We have no building skills and for our first ball pythons, we don't want to risk making our own and having some kind of flaw in it and end up losing a snake.

    Since you really don't need a 41qt rack right now, I would go with a 32qt rack that holds both 32qt tubs and 15qt tubs(either one tub or two tubs on the shelf). That would be more flexible for you and once they outgrow the 15qt tubs, you can bump them up to the 32qts. Those will last quite awhile, and by then you can figure out which 41qt rack you want to get.

    Can that 32qt rack hold 15qt tubs?
