    How to know if she's outgrown her tub?

    Hey all...I got my first bp at the end of February and set her up in a 28 (?) gallon tub with plenty of "stuff" so she didn't feel too exposed. She was 291g and about 22-24", as of today she is 414g and ~33". The tub is 6 or 7 inches tall and has a long side of about 21". See the photo for reference...I'm curious if it's time to get her something larger? If not, how big will she be about when she does need more space? Any info is appreciated..thanks!!

    Re: How to know if she's outgrown her tub?

    Of course, a question like this is always subject to opinion. But I think it’s generally accepted that the enclosure should be large enough to allow her to stretch out fully. With that in mind, I’d definitely say it’s time for an upgrade. Also, 6-7 inches is really short. I’m sure she’d appreciate some climbing space.

    Thanks for the response!! I'll definitely start looking at other options. Also, I thought that shortish tubs were the norm after seeing the breeding racks people use...It'd be interesting to see if she'd use more height when given it. It's actually closer to 8/9, as I forgot to include the lid which is raised higher than the edge of the tub. Still, that's comparatively no different I suppose next to a deep tub.
