    Adult Blood Python Housing?
    I have to find some adult housing for some of my Brongersmai blood pythons, I have them in some sterilite tubs but they are getting kind of small for em. What size / brand tubs do you guys reccomend for the average adult blood python?

    Thanks!

    If you prefer tubs

    Iris VE175's are the best hands down

    Hey does anyone make a quality rack that will fit 3 ve175's in a vertical stack that comes with heating and thermostats already installed, I am willing to pay for the extra cost rather than set it up myself...

    Iris VE175 also known as Christmas tree boxes :gj: http://www.irisusainc.com/p-680-ve-175w.aspx

    Works great for adults :gj:

    Thanks for the advice, I was looking at Boaphile Plastics as well, but I did not see a rack that had large enough tubs, I was going to call and ask if he would custom make me a rack for the VE175's

    Sorry to double post but I really wanted 2kDimes opinion as well as everyone elses,

    What about a cage that is 60"long x 24"deep x 17.5"tall?

    here is the specific cage I am looking at, comes with one side as a built in hide as well, plus you can add heating and thermostat to the build and it will ship with all this installed.

    I wish I could find those tubs somewhere but it seems they are seasonal. If I get an adult I'll just have to get a custom enclosure for her.

    How is your heating and stuff set up in those cages dime?

    Do you happen to have a handy link directing me to where I might check these cages out?

    Heating is on the left side with 11" Flexwatt from Reptile Basics controlled by a Herpstat Pro

    Probe slots routered in by Ap is standard procedure

    Here's Ap's link, you just have to navigate their site until you get to the T-8's

    http://www.animalplastics.com/

    Its a terrestrial cage

    Its a quick ship item as well which is sweet, or you can pick em up.

    Tell em Trevor said hi!

    Cages as Trevor pictured are the best IMO, I add a 10 gallon rubbermaid tote with a monster hole in it for a hidebox/nestbox..You can move a snake and not touch it plus it is a habit unrelated to anything but handling..:gj:

    Re: Adult Blood Python Housing?
    Awesome thread. Thanks for all the useful posts. I was just this very day wondering what I might do when these new hatchlings grow out of a 41 quart tub. I'm now 100% sure I'll go with one of the AP options - the terrestrial cage or the christmas tree tubs. Both look like good options, though.

    I actually found some gigantic black tubs a walmart intended as tool storage tubs. If I remember right they are made by sterilite. They were 4' long and looked about 3' deep. Might use that for the girl I ordered :) It a lot better than paying out the ass to have a tub shipped

    Dang Trevor, those stacked T-8s look NICE (and the animals inside look great of course). I dig it, and I actually have a T-8 arriving this week.
