    depeneding on size I use a 32qt rack system, my big 07 has his own tub while my smaller 07's share a split tube using the RBI dividers. my 08 babies use smaller iris 16 qt tubs. I thin kthey are 16.... not sure well hope this helps.

    it depends on the size of the snake...people have already given you good answers.

    As a rule of thumb, hatchlings are good in 6 qts, up to 12-18qts when they get into being a juv, then up to a 28 or 32, then bigger for monster males or females.

    are you talking tanks or tubs? i would assume if you were talking about tubs then you could just find the longest tub you could and split it up. i don't think the height would really matter.

    Full grown balls do quite well in a 3x2x1 (LxWxH) cage :)
    Is this what you're asking?

    What type of enclosures? Glass aquariums, AP style enclosures, tubs? The easiest way in my opinion would be to get something like this that is 96 quarts that could be split into 3-32 quart homes that would last them their whole lives. And you could always get a long strip of flexwatt to use as a UTH and the heat shoud, ideally, be the same in each tub.
