Ok for ball hatchlings?

[Jay_Bunny]

I was looking up racks and saw this. It says the tub dimensions make each tub 5.4qts. So is this ok for hatchling ball pythons? If so, how long do they stay in one of these (up to how many grams?)

with the right water dowl yep that would work great!

But how long before they need to be moved up to a 15qt? 100g? 300g?

those are 17 by 14 i would say he could stay in here for quite some time....i dont know gram wise but definately out of the hatchling stage maybe even through juvenile

6 qt I'd say up to 300-400 grams. hope that helps

The tubs are only 8x14 not 17x14. I'd say up to about 300-400g they would be fine.

my bad

Thanks. I found one of my old threads where we talked about tub size. 6qt is good up to 350-400g, 15qt is good up to 1000g and 32qt is good up to 1500g.

Thanks for all your help.

All my males live their whole lives in 32qt tubs and in fact Juvi's are in a 32 split in half till they get big enough to move up to a full 32qt.

Agreed.

300-400grams 6qt tubs
400-1000 15qt or divided 28/32qt
1000+ 28/32 qt tubs
Biggest of big girls 41qt tubs... (I don't have any females over 2500g yet...so I don't keep any 41qt tub racks.)

Its what works for me anyways...my snakes are all ravenous feeders. Keep them dark and tight.
