    I would get 41 quart tubs for them! That size can handle any adult size ball!

    thanks just don't think its really fair to keep them in the enclosure i have now and yes i know i shouldn't keep them together but they don't seem to mind they all are healthy i'm doing this for my own sanity really they don't seem stressed and when they are not in torper they eat like hogs just really worried about potential for problems down the road

    she's a little over 6 pounds when she's pounding rats usually she takes a large rat every 10 days or so and she'll even take a rat that my other girls refuse check out my gallery you can see most of her in the photos that look like they are in some small town and a castle

    A rack system is best, 41qts is what I use for my adults.
    Do not house them together.

    Yup, 41, and not together.
    That is one MASSIVE snake. Is it one of those giant bps? Oh, and great topless shots, very classy!
