I think that is the same base size as a 6qt, just a little shorter. Should work great. :sweeet:

6qrt is perfect, I have hatchlings in 16qrts as well... so they have plenty of time to grow into those. Baby balls tend to feed better in smaller ones. I provide paper towel and a water dish for them in 6qrts... NO HIDE!

Eh? Why no hide? I thought baby BPs like to hide a lot. That's what I keep reading on this forum. Small tight spaces with hides.

Oh there will definately be hides and a water dish; this is just the cnotainer I was posting for size advice.

All of mine get hides, from the littlest one to the biggest one. Even the little ones hunt from their hides, all 75 grams of them! LOL

My hatchlings go in 6qt. Rubbermaid shoe box tubs, yearlings go in 12qt. tubs, sub adults and males go in 28qt. tubs, and the big adults go in 41qt. under bed tubs.


I DONT use hides, and neither do alot of people running large number of snakes and racks. Ive put hides in my racks, but they will push it to the front and leave it alone. They dont find it nessecary because they are in a nice, dark, secure rack.

psl...

Adam has over 200 snakes, every one of them gets a hide. It's up to them if they want to use it or not - but it's available for them if they want it.

All of mine in the rack are using their hides. They just move it with them from the front to the back - but they're always in their hides, wherever the hide might be.

I know only one of my adult balls want to use a hide, and hes a W/C that is jumpy and afraid of everything.
