    Re: Whats a great size Tub?

    My 2000g/4ft female is in a 41qt, and seems perfectly content. Sometimes it looks too small, but I'm afraid she'd be intimidated by anything larger.

    Correct me if I'm wrong anyone, but I think BPs above ~1500g should be in a 20gal - which is comparable to a 41qt tub.

    Rule of thumb is floor space to length of snake. 1/2 length of snake for length of floor by 1/4 length of snake for floor width.

    Example: a 4 ft snake should have a 2'L x1'W floor space; 3' x 2' is plenty for the biggest BPs.
    All the Best,
