Re: Could i keep my BP in a tub?
I drilled holes in the lid not the actual tub. I tried drilling the tub and cracked it But if you want some holes on the sides of the actual tub i would solder holes into it. But i would always have a hygrometer to make sure the humidty doesnt get out of control and you dont notice. And if you dont have a temp gun id highly recommend it. I always read oh its the greatest thing to have with herps and i was just like yeah yeah a thermometer does the same thing but not i bought one from RBI and its great. I can check temps all over in 2 seconds. Its a must.

okay ill get a temp gun for my bday.. i got a 6qt tub and made half of the top screen and the other half with a few holes. its the right size for my 100 gram girl and should work for quite a while. what im going to do is move her from the 20L tank to the 6qt, and then move my leos into the 20L, then move the mice to the 10 gal. its perfect . do you think she will care if i downgrade her from a 20L all the way to a 6qt?

Well i have my 100 gram male in a 12 quart. But i think a 100 gram would like the 6 quart. Ball pythons love to feel safe, and a small space does that for them. Granted too small of space isnt what they want either. But I think the 6quart will be okay for awhile.

okay i moved her into the 6qt.. im going to make this a temporary thing because i want to see what size tub im going to need for my new hatchling.. im probably going to put him into a 15qt because the 6 seems kinda small.. ill put her back into her 20L in a few days. thanks for the help!

Re: Could i keep my BP in a tub?
No problem. Its nice to help someone out. But i think the 12-15 quarts are great for hatchling up to about 250-350 grams. My guy is on a 5 day feeding schedule and is growing like a weed. And im going to buy my guy one of the reptile basics custom cages. They look great, awsome customer service, good prices, and have awsome reviews.
