    Red face Tub sizes

    Hello, I have a tub size question for my baby ball python and my two cresties.

    I'm going to be setting up tubs soon for all three and would like to know what would be the proper sizes.

    For my baby ball python, he is about 20 inches long. What dimensions on a tub would he be able to stay in for a while without getting an upgrade? I don't think quarts/liters/gallons is an important number, since a lot of them give a lot more head space then floor space, so what would be the best size tub for him in length x width x height?

    My two cresties are still pretty small, but are eating good and healthy. They are about as long as my index finger(not including tail). What size tubs could they be in that could last them a while? Or just be their permanent houses? I am going to set them up like the sticky in the crested gecko sub forum. It's an awesome DIY sticky! They will be in separate housing.

    Thanks for all the help guys!

    Your bp can go in a 12 quart! The tubs for bps should only be 5 to 6" high! The measurements for a 12 quart is about 11W X 16L X 6"H! A bp needs a 28 quart for adult male and a 41 quart for a adult female!

    Tell that to my 2150 gram male

    Most males can inhabit 28qt tubs for sure, but there are some males that take size to another level.

    There is always an exception to the rule!
