Good size tub for LIFE of BP

I want to setup the new home for my spider BP what do you guys recommend im thnkn of a 20-30 gallon zoo med UTH probably a big apple herp thermostat any suggestions? THANKS!

I've read that 41 qt's will work for the life of a BP.

32qt rack system is all thats needed for ball pythons & also the best way to keep them.

How big is the snake now? If it is still a baby then a 20 gallon tank could be make it feel less secure and lead to fasting.

If he is a baby, start with a shoebox tub. Then move up as he grows.

Can I ask where? Most people here recommend using a 41 qt for only larger females.

I'd say a 32qt.

Most of my larger females are in 41qt. Males in 32qt.

Tubs are inexpensive & going from shoebox to 15qt & later a 32 or 42 won't cost much. A secure snake feeds well & will enjoy his/her home with you. ;)

ehhh I think that 32qt's are appropriate for smaller males, but big females should be provided a 41qt IMO.

You can find tubs the correct size at any big box store. (Walmart, Target, Big Lots) Just look around and find one with a good, secure lid, and off you go!
