    Thanks for the clarification.

    Also, thanks for the pictures Freakie_frog. Helped put this into perspective.

    6qt tubs for hatchling
    16qt tubs f200 - 600g
    32qt tubs for 601 - 1200g
    41qt tubs for 1201g+

    this also varies due to the individual snake. :gj:

    Yes that's fine for your snake.
    Make sure it has a nice tight fitting hide or two and maybe some fake plants to help it feel secure.
