Tub size X Gram weight

Does any one have any prefrences about what tubs to have when your snakes are a certain weight? Thanks for any input.

I personally go by what seem to make them happy, I have a 550 gram pastel female that is back in a 15 qt, seemed stressed in the bigger tub.... Have a smaller spider female that does well in a 32 I would go off how crowded they seem and how well they do with their space

I am just getting into tubs myself but i have done a decent amount of research on the topic. #1 is get a feel for the individual snake. Some prefer bigger some prefer smaller. The best i can tell people go up to aprox 500 grams in a 15qt, 500-1500 in a 32qt, and 1500+ in a 41. I am sure more experienced members will chime in, but this is just what i have found in my research.

Cheers,
Bill

This is what I use also.

33"x18"x6" are size of tubs I use for all my snakes. It's the size of the Hide Box that makes the snake less stressed. Small hide for a small snake.

I agree with kaorte

so at what size would you move a baby from a 6 qt?

In the end its really your call when to move them. I don't use 6qts but if I did I would move them out at around 200g.

I move mine out of 6 qts at around 4 to 500g,then go to a divided 32qt.,then 1200 + go into the 32s,my bigger females are in cb70s but I think they dont need cb70 to do fine!

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.
