    Adult female tub size question.

    I know it is best to put a female adult ball python in a 41 qt but would it be just fine to keep them in a 28 qt or is that unacceptable?

    And for babies. Keeping them in 12 qt's, what's the average weight to take them out of a 12 and put them into a bigger tub?

    Thanks in advance,

    Daniel.

    A 28qt is too small for an adult female IMO. It might work for a small adult male, but I don't think it would work for females, definitely not for breeding...

    Is there any Rubbermaid that's in between a 28 and 41 because I haven't been able to find one at my local Walmart and if so would they be okay to house them in?

    You can always find it online, and site to store it. OR get the little "show this number to any representative" number and take it to one of them to have them special order it in for you.

    Yeah I wouldn't keep a full grown adult female in anything smaller than a 41. I have all of mine in 28qts, but I am in the process of pulling the funds together to get 41qts for my females.

    Cheers.

    Do you at all know if they ship to Canada? I can't find anything on the site saying they do.
