    A 41 quart tub for large females, or a 3'x2'x1' cage. They need 1 square foot of floor space for every foot in length of BP.

    Roughly a 36x18" (or a little bigger) floor space is fine.

    Anything that's 36x18 without too much height which is wasted space that only make it harder to maintain proper temps.

    Male or Female? I have full grown males in a 36 qt rack system, and they do just fine. I would use 41 qt tubs for the ladies if I had any.

    Sounds like everyone has answered your question. And would you consider PVC cages or plastic tubs over a tank? Both of those options are better in my opinion than a tank. (easier to clean and maintain humidity/heat)
