    I have snakes that size in 6 quarts. Pretty much my balls are in 6 quarts until they are about 400+ grams.

    I place mine straight into sterilite 28qt from target. I just got 110g Spider doing great.

    I think as long as they feel secure an it is not too big, size is just a preference.

    Most adult males will be fine in a 32q for life. Adult females over 2000g I switch to 41q.

    41qt most people use for bigger and/or breeding females. Most of the time people leave their males in 28/32qt.

    Thats a realy good Idea, what do you use for dividers? Although I dont have a rack yet.

    You can purchase ones made for the RBI 32q racks. They work awesome.
