    Which 41 qt tub..

    Well originally, I was only looking to get a male ball python and set up in 34qt tub when it becomes adult. However, I thought that I could possibly get female if I really like the color lol
    So I was looking into 41 qt tub, which is recommended for female ball python. Is 41 qt also good size for adult male?
    Anyways, I have no idea which 41 qt tub to get. I was looking at the sterlite one which is https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite...3=4284&veh=sem

    are these what most people use? If not, provide me a link so I could get the right one!

    Not that specific tub but I use tubs of the same brand.

    Re: Which 41 qt tub..

    I keep mine in an AP enclosure, however his emergency bin for power outages/"boarding"/moving/vet trips etc is 41 qt bin. I use this https://www.usplastic.com/catalog/it...hoCWIkQAvD_BwE. It took some work to solder the air holes in as the plastic is a bit thick, but I feel like it is really secure. For living space you'd probably need to cover the outside in dark paper or something or have a rack to put it in for stress purposes.

    I just covered it with a dark towel since it is temporary space. There is enough room for two "hides" (cereal boxes) and a water bowl. It's not quite enough room for both fake rock hides (exoterra ex large caves) that I use. (though I'm not sure if you use a rack system is hides are needed - hopefully someone will have an answer for that)

    I've have to take him to work for a few days twice since I had him, once when my apt was repainted, and once when I was forced to flea bomb it. He stayed at my work for three days total, and I didn't have to worry about him pushing the lid off or having humidity issues.
    No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much

    Those are the ones I have in all of my racks... They are perfect for both male and female adult Ball Pythons. You will want to use the 12" heat tape with those...
