Re: Tub size X Gram weight
I leave animals in 6qt tubs till the are about 500 grams..then they get moved to a 28 qt tub till they are 1500+ grams then they go to a 41 qt.
I've seen moving them up to soon causes feeding issues. I leave them in the 6 qt till I have to take their water out to let them eat..then its time to move them up..

in a few weeks I can get hatchlings to 200 grams 6qts are fine for BPs to 500 gram.

Personally, I couldn't fit a 500g in a 6qt tub with a hide and a water dish, there would be literally no room for either the water dish, hide or snake. I could understand leaving a 500g BP in a 15qt tub, but a 6 qt tub? I don't even think my 500g bps alone would fit in a 6qt tub comfortably, with nothing else in there.

I weighed my 09s last night in my RBI baby rack 6 qt. all were between 400 to 500g,no hide they dont need one in a 6 qt.. growing good,everybody keeps them like that,500g aint that big.They like it tight & cramped thats what make them thrive,keep them in some thing too big thats when you have issues.

800 grammer maybe when they get lenth,my males are 750g. they would be cramped but they are long not short fat 09s.

To each their own :) I personally like to give my snakes at least one hide if they choose to use it.
