When should I move my BP into a larger enclosure?
I'm curious as to when I should scale up her enclosure. She's about 450 grams (pre-poop) and roughly 24 inches. Right now she's in a 41.2 qt IRIS tub (http://www.amazon.com/IRIS-41-2-Weat.../dp/B002LHU6CM). I'm fairly certain she will be fine with this tub for a while but I'm just wondering about other options. Thanks

I keep animals of that size in 15qt tubs. I keep my really big girls in 41qts for life. They do really well this way. If they are doing well in a tub that size, there's not really any reason to change anything. She will do well to full adult size.

Are your animals in a rack?

Yes? That doesn't change what size enclosure these animals thrive in.

Just wanna point out that the tub OP linked is 23.6" x 17.9" x 7.9", which isn't suitable for a big adult female. That's less than 3 square feet of floor space. I'm assuming you're using the 41qt that's ~34" long, but not as tall.
OP, you'll want to upgrade when your girl passes the 3-4 ft mark, but you can go bigger sooner if you want, provided you clutter up the space a bit to make her feel secure.

Sure, I was wondering because I have to provide two hides, water dish, etc. when in a rack system you only need a water dish. And as Judy said, it's a 41 qt that's about 24x18
