    Recommended tub size for adult ball pythons?

    So... how big of a tub DO I need for an adult ball python? 60 qt? Bigger?

    (Looks like I might be gone for part of the summer... in which case I need to have racks set up for 12 adults and sub-adults, so that my husband can take care of them with a minimum of fuss. And the first thing I need to know is how much floor space this is going to consume.)

    32 qt - 41 qt will be good for adults.

    CB-70 Iris tubs are popular...

    I personally use 41 QTS for all my adult ball pythons. Just to give them more room to stretch out and it gives me enough room durring breeding season and I need two in the tub at once.

    28 quart tubs are usually good for males and 41 quart tubs are ideal for females.
