I'm in the infant stages of planning an actual snake room. I mean, I have one, but it just barely qualifies since I've only got two T8s and four snakes in there now.

The guidance I'm looking for is, given a blank slate to start from, what is the general rule when deciding how many adult, grow-up, and hatchling tubs to purchase? I know the actual amount of tubs depends on the size of your collection, but I'm hoping for some sort of direction similar to "for every breeding female, it's a good idea to have xxxx hatchling tubs available". I don't want to end up getting too many tubs and waste money heating empties, but I really wouldn't want to run out of room for babies when they come (nice problem to have, but still a problem). For those of you who have settled in to your comfort zone and produce a handful or more clutches each year, what have you found works for you and what doesn't?

For actual tub sizes, I like the Vision tubs, and am leaning towards V-18s for hatchlings up to 400-500g, V-28s for growing up and some adults, and V-70s for the biggest of the bunch. Does this sound reasonable?

I know a lot of the consideration when planning a snake room revolves around the available space and animals you've got to work with, but I'm trying to get my ship pointed in the right direction while I've still got calm waters ahead.

Thanks for your help in advance!
