Tub setup for Chris..

So I got asked to take some pics of how I set up babies, juvi's, and adults.
Babies up to 500+ grams are put in a 6qt tub with a water bowl and a flower pot saucer for a hide like so

See they even have room to stretch out

Once they get to a certain point I can pull the hide out since the tub then serves as their hide

Males and sub adult females go in a 28qt tub again with a larger flower pot saucer and again a water bowl. This male is and 08 and 1000+ grams

Adults depending on their feeding habits may or may not get a hide in a 41 qt tub and a water bowl..this is a 1800+ gram female that doesn't need a hide.

where as some females seems to do better with a hide in the larger tub. For that I use the Med Van Ness kitty litter pans with a hole cut in one of the sides..

Waiting to move them up from a 6qt to a 28 has really improved my ability to keep them on food after the move. I've moved them to soon and had them go off food for months, no body likes that. When I have to take the water bowl out to feed them that's when I know its time to move them.

Females like the albino above may look like they are ready but she stayed in that tub for another 2 months she's now 1200 grams and in a 28 qt tub.

Not every thing I have mentioned will work in every collection or with every snake. But it's a good base to build on.


Hope this helps

the snakes colors in that last pic are awesome...just beautiful.

What morph is that in the last pic? Its amazing! Thanks for the pics and info.

Well that's a Bee (Pastel Spider)..Glad you like her and glad you can use the info..

All my BP's are in 41q tubs. I have 1 female that is 1700g and 5 females that are 1000g's. I also have two males in the 41q tubs and they are 750g and 500g's. The only part of my rack that is exposed to light is the front 18" so the 34" sides and back 18"s (where the heat is of course) is pretty dark. Some of them go under the newspaper so I do not put hides in. Since I just got my 500g (08) male today, I am considering putting a hide in for him. I will probably build a 28q rack for my males/juveniles after I build my hatchling rack, probably in a few months.

that bp in the last pic is just amazing, im trying to think of another word to desribe how beautiful that snake is
