    Question Tub Size VS Snake Size, When To Upgrade

    My ball pythons all range in weight from 475 gr. to 775 gr. They're all housed in 25 quart sterelite tubs. Just a tad less floor space than 28 quart tubs. My question is at what size/weight is it reccomended that I upgrade them to a larger tub. And should I go to a 32 quart or straight to a 41 quart. My snakes in the 500 gr. range seem to be fine in the 25 qt tubs, but the ones that are up in the 750 gr range are getting a little cramped.

    You could try them out in larger tubs. Most balls prefer the security of tight quarters. At thier size 41qt might be a little much, so I would go for the 32qt. If they act like they are stressed out, put them back in the smaller tubs or offer more hides.
