Tub size for ~28" bp

About a month ago, my bro-in-law decided to give me back the ball python I'd been watching for him. Finally, he said come and get it. I'm switching it to a tub, for obvious reasons. This snake, last time I measured it, was about 28" or so.

Sometime this week, I'm going to build a 2-space rack for them. My other bp is in a tube that's approx 27"X16"X6". Would I be ok putting the smaller snake in the same size tub, or should I go with a smaller one? They're cheap enough that if a smaller one would suit him better, I'll do that, but if he'd be ok in the size I'm ultimately going to move him to, I'd just as soon do that.

32 quarts tubs are what i use.

I think that's what the one I have my other snake in is. I just wondered if that would be too big to have a juvenile in.

This is what I use depending on the snake's size

Up to 500 grams – 15 Quarts (17"L x 11 1/8"W x 6 3/8"H)

Up to 1500 grams – 32 Quarts (23 1/2"L x 16 1/4"W x 6 3/8"H)

Above 1500 grams – 41 Quarts (34 3/4"L x 16 1/2"W x 6"H)

My wife ended up getting me a 28 quart. It's nearly as big as the other, so I think as long as it heats/humidifies properly, it should work.

I have a 32 qt. one for my 24.5 inch long bp so you should be fine for now with the 28. I think a lot of people even use 28-32 qt for much bigger snakes
