    Racks
    I was just wondering what should be the tub size for an adult BP and what should be the size for a hatchling. I was looking at freedom breeder racks and i saw this

    Is that good for adult BP?

    Many people use 32Qt size tubs for average adult ball pythons.

    Personally, i use mainly 41Qts for my animals, as i feel the 32's are much too small for some of the larger adult animals. ( i DO have a four slot rack for some of the smaller critters that use 32's, and i like it well enough)

    This would be the 41 qt rack that some people use to house large adult breeder females.

    be alright with 15qts, just add stuff so they can hide.

    Let me edit this, are you looking for a baby rack, or an enclosure for a small ball python?

    if youre looking for baby racks, you can go with a smaller tub, and upgrade them, or sell them as they grow. If youre looking at an enclosure that isnt too massive, id go with the 15.

    I have Freedom Breeders and they are great racks. The only problem if you get the hatchling rack you are looking at is in a few months they will grow out of it.

    Why don't you look at a Vision rack, it can be changed from a hatchling to a sub adult to an adoult CB70 tub all in the same rack or have all 3 on different levels if you want. It depends what your needs are. Most racks are a one tub size rack, BP's grow fast and unless you want to have several racks for many snakes, i would check into the Visions, i have 2 now as well as Animal plastics and Freedom breeders.
