    Tub and rack size?

    I know this topic has been brought up countless times, but I'm considering building a tub rack, only maybe 5 tubs and I was wondering, What are the best (in your opinions) tub dimensions, LxWxH?

    What size snakes are you wanting to fit into the rack, hatchlings, sub-adults, adults?

    41 Qt FOR Females 28 or 32 for males but i think it would be easier to put either male or female in one 41 qt rack..

    It takes a really long time to grow a hatchling to 2000+ grams. 28qt tubs are fine for snakes less than 2000g. I would build a rack that holds X number of 28qt tubs since two 12qt tubs fit in the same space as a 28qt tub you could use smaller tubs for babies and upgrade as they go. Either way buy all the tubs first and s=make your rack specific to those tubs. Lots of tubs can vary (as I learned the hard way).

    ^ Exactly. Even Walmart to Walmart can vary in tub dimensions even if they are both Sterlite 32qt tubs. Why do they constantly change them, because they can.

    This Is definitely a noob question, but is the 6 1/8 inch height too low? My normal right now is in a 36"x18"x16" tank and he/she seems to utilize the height to climb a little and look around.
