A hide in the Tub or not

[muzikfreakah]

Hey guys, setting up a new tub today for my new 2 year old adult spider.

Question, Since I am going to a tank setup and not a TUB, do you still need to put a hide in the tub or is the tub already a hide in itself?

hi there
that all depends on how large your tub is .if its to big i would suggest a hide. how many grams is your spider? and what size tub are you going to use?

[muzikfreakah]

He is 850 grams, still going to check out the available tubs at hardware shop today :-) What size do you recommend?

i would get a cb70 tub and put in a couple of the large reptile basics hide in there.you can house him in there for life

The rack I just built is using 28qt tubs and they work great.
I do have a 1500 female in there that will be coming out of it next weekend and getting her own enclosure
I have hides in all of them but some of my smaller guys are sleeping in top of the hides instead of in them

The only time I use hides in the tubs, is when I move a juvenile from the hatchling rack to a 28 or 41 quart tub, and the the snake refuses food. Then I will only keep the hide in the larger tubs for a few months.

Use a 28q tub with no hides.

Thanks for all the Tips, I guess, the best way is to put a hide, if he doesnt use it, I will take it out :-)

How's this guys? I will buy some wood shavings later in place of the newspaper :-)

It looks like you've got it. For my stand alone tubs, I prefer to use 2 hides, but as long as your snake is eating and healthy, it should work the way you have it.
