    So do you think 41's are better. I think there is not point changing tubs after tubs after tubs. Lol. I have around 2 tubs just because I keep changing hem every 4-6 months and I got to stop that! What do you guys keep babies and juvis in? I forgot to add that.

    I keep babies (up to 8 months old) in 16qt tubs. Works well for me.

    Depends on the size I would not keep a female above the weight I mentioned in a 32 quarts tub.

    I only use 3 different sizes of tubs for my snakes.

    What are the floor dimensions of a 32qt? That might help with my bp stress issue.

    Re: Whats a great size Tub?

    I use 15qt for juveniles, shoe box for hatchlings... 32 qts are great for adult males and younger/smaller girls. 41-42qt seem to do well for most adult gals- although I'm looking to ad a CB 70 rack or 2 which would be perfect for any BIG gals, since I've a few BP girls that are over 5 ft 6+ lbs... I've got my a few of the biggest in Iris 900s but it's over-kill.
    All the Best,

    Not to hijack the thread...

    At what weight (Or would it be length?) would a 20g tank be appropriate?
