What size of sterilite tubs do you guys use for bp hatchling racks?
I'm thinking of building a hatchling rack soon, and I'm just wondering what is the usual size used for hatchling bp's?

I know alot of people use the shoebox size.. (the one with the pic of a high heel on it) I personally am using 15qt bins for my 100+g animals and 32qt for animals 600+g
i would check out on kingsnake.com and take a look at all the different rack builders/suppliers and check out what they use :gj:

When speaking to some of the breeders we got snakes from they said the shoe box was good and if you stick a hatchling in something to big they may start to feel insecure and not eat.

I'm taking a break as I type from building a 6qt rack for hatchlings.

6qt is fine if you plan on getting rid of them, I would use 15 if you plan on keeping them to raise up because they would last you a year or so. 15 is a little large for a baby but if you put two hides and a water bowl in it it works out fine.
Also you can put two 15 qt's in one shelf and later but one 32qt sideways in the same shelf.

15 qt. with a small shallow bowl and a hide for newborns. I've never had problems with babies not eating. When they get over 200g I move them to the 32's. When they get over 600g, they go into the longer FB tubs.
