    Rack plan

    I'm planning to build a rack, to house some colubrids and Balls. I'm planning to have 2 shelves that can hold 2 11" x 16" each, and 5 or 6 shelves that hold 1 16" x 24" each.

    What species of snake can stay their whole life in the smaller tubs?

    thanks

    Hey,

    Your male balls can live in a 16 X 24, but not a full size female. You can grow a female ball in a 16 X 24 until she is about 1500 grams max. You will want a tub about 18 X 36 X 6 for further grow out.

    Good luck,
    Bill

    Do they have to be snakes? What about leopard geckos? Or cresties or gargs (though I recommend something a little higher for them)?

    Sand boas and rosy boas can stay in smaller tubs.
