    people use a ton of brands rubbermaid, Sterilite, Isis.

    most people use the 6qt size for hatchlings, then go up to 19qt( shoe box size) for juvies, then 25qt or 36qt ( sweater box size)

    if you are putting them in a rack I prefer the isis tubs because they have straight sides if you are using them as stand alone I prefer sterilite locking lids to the other brands.

    Re: Proper Tub size for small/med/large snake?

    These are what I use, other peoples may vary but this works well for me...

    All of my tubs are sterilite
    6qt for hatchling to 200 grams
    15qt for up to 500 grams
    28qt for up to 1500 grams
    over 1500 grams I use 34 and 40qt tubs
