Personally, I couldn't fit a 500g in a 6qt tub with a hide and a water dish, there would be literally no room for either the water dish, hide or snake. I could understand leaving a 500g BP in a 15qt tub, but a 6 qt tub? I don't even think my 500g bps alone would fit in a 6qt tub comfortably, with nothing else in there.
