    Getting a 3000g 'Normal' Girl.. 32q Tub Ok?

    Hello! I have a question that I just need a little reassuring or strict no to lol..
    I have the opportunity to buy my male Jungle ball's mom to try and get more Jungles to prove him out. She's a big ol' girl at over 3000 grams which would be the biggest ball I've seen in person/held. Exciting for me But I have a problem, I have a custom 4 tub 41q rack being made for me, but it's taking longer than I'd like. I'm on a bit of a time constraint and need to make a choice. I'd rather not get another temporary tank for her as it takes up space and we're moving.. I'd like a temporary rack more as we all know the benefits of that.

    So, I've found a 10 tub 32q rack for sale... I'm wondering if she would be ok in it until I could get the 41q. If I had to quess she might be in it up to 2 months. Is that ok? Thanks for the help everyone!

    P.S. The person says the thermostat that comes with it is a Newtek? I don't think I've heard of that... is it any good?

    I would just use a 41 quart tub stand alone without a rack unit the rack is done.

    Something like this:

    I've never heard anything good about Newtek's... they mostly make timers.

    32 quarts would be very tight for a female that size, I keep anything over 2000 grams in 41 quarts.

    Thanks for the info, I was worried it would be too small for her. I'll consider the stand alone tub, but if I can get my rack soon maybe I won't have to worry so much!

    I have my big girls in 50 qt tubs with room to spare. They seem to like the space it's easy for then to thermo regulate and gives room for a hide.
