    Adult BP tub size preference

    What size tubs do you prefer to keep your adult BP's in?

    Feel free to discus any other size tubs or specific brands you are inclined towards.

    this is def. an opinion pole but i would say 28 qt up to 2000 grams. 41 qt after that. i personally like the 28 qt because it doesnt take up the space that 41 qt does. but you need to provide a proper size for each individual animal. so if it needs a 41 you give it a 41.

    Same here, 28qt for males and 41qt for females.

    If I have the space I like to move females over to 41qt tubs at around 1200 grams so they get acclimated to their larger sized tubs well before they are breeding.

    I like to keep them in 32qt. Any bigger and they don't act the same for me so for me.
