    Your Colony Number Set Up???

    I just wanted to hear what colony numbers work well for others. Right now I have found that a 1.3 works very well for me. What works well for you? Thanks for the reply. Have a Great 4th of July.

    1.2 and 1.3 , will be feeding off the 1.2 and replacing with a 1.3 to get more producion, also because they seem to turn their food to dust a lot more than the other group

    Re: Your Colony Number Set Up???

    A big thank you to all whom have replied. I just wanted to see if anyone had something that was working super well. I'm trying to keep 10 snakes well fed and I fear that my 4 tub rack just may fall short. Only time will tell. Big Shout Out to Snake Doc for helping me get started on this adventure. Thank You.

    you could do 1.3 groups in 2 or 3 tubs and have one grow out tub
    or fill the rack with breeders and have a couple totes for grow ups

    Re: Your Colony Number Set Up???

    Right now I have 3 tubs set up as 1.3 and I am feeding from the wean/grow tub. Today I added a 1.2 in a 10gal setting on top of the rack. But I like the way you think. A seperate area for use as a grow tub. THANKS
