    tub size for an adult Blood?

    Just wondering what Sterilite tub would be the ideal size for a fully grown Blood. Would 41-quart be too small?

    Way too small.


    These thinks get huge. Not only do they reach about 6 feet but they get fat.
    30-40 pounds wouldn't be uncommon.

    A 4x2 cage would be good for a single adult.

    Re: tub size for an adult Blood?

    I was keeping my adult black blood in a VE 175 Dimensions: 20 7/8"W x 52 7/8"L x 14 1/16"H Tub, but I've since moved her to a boaphile cage. I really like the boaphile cage a lot better, as she has a lot more room to move around in.

    I just moved my Borneo into one of those Sterilites with the wheels on it... right now she is a little over 4 feet and fat, and it seems to be okay.

    I'll try to get a pic of it for you so you can see what kind of room she has in there.

    For ADULT adult animals, I like a minimum of 48" x 30" in floor space.

    Re: tub size for an adult Blood?

    Thanks! I am thinking of getting one.. if I did it right, I could keep it in the rack for awhile, and put it into my BCI's cage wheen he outgrows it and we build him a larger one... isn't it fun to scheme?
