A lot of people on here mention using 6 qt for hatchlings and 15 for juvies, so that's what I'm trying to do. For the ones you listed, maybe the 9 liter and 18 liter?

For your adults I personally would go with the 33 liter for males and small females, and I wouldn't use any of those tubs you listed for large females/breeding tubs. The only one that looks like it has enough floor space is the 70 liter one, and that is going to suck to try to fit into a rack.

I would go ahead & build the rack to hold 28qt tubs. You can house your juvi in a sterlite 15qt with latch lid, and keep in the rack, then switch it over to a the 28qt. as you can see in the pic below, 15 qt has blue lid. I use back heat with this rack

i built my rack .. to handle 12 24 and 41 qt tubs .. so on my top shelf i have two 28 qt tubs on the second i have 3 12 qt and 3rd is 1 41 qt .. ect ect ect. or any combo that will fit..thats what ive been doing and it works well.

The 64L is large enough for breeding ive been told and adults, but im thinkin 50's for males.

i just drew out my 1st snake rack, 6 - 12L, 4 - 18L , 2 - 33L its ill be 52 tall 32 wide 20 deep. Made from 1/2" partical board, oh i cant wait. But will one strip of 11" flex watt wide and 2 long do one shelf or sould i use 4 per shelf and instead of 2?

From the picture in your link it looks like the two have the same floor space but the 64L is just taller.

Out of those boxes, I would go with the 33 litre! The 35 is too tall! Ideally a 45 litre with height of 6 inches would be best for females but there is not one on your list. A 45 litre is equal to 41 quarts. 33 litre would be good for adult males!

Sweet alot of these boxes use the same measurements, ive just relized that. Im making a smaller snake rack with 12, 18 and 33's and later a big one for my older ladies in 50's.
