    Tub Sizes

    What size tubs do you use based on a BP's size? I'm possibly going to be switching to tubs once Koga grows out of his current tank, but I definitely once I get more. Do you switch your BPs to a bigger tub once they reach a certain weight or length? I think a general idea of when you guys seem to switch your guys and gals around could be helpful to many newer owners like me

    Not exact but for reference:

    New Born to 200 grams - 6 qt
    201-500 grams - 15/16 qt
    501-1,000 grams - 28/32 qt
    1,001+ grams - 41 qt

    Males can live in a 28/32 qt their whole lives while females will need a 41 qt

    Again it's really up to the snake, but go smaller if not sure.
    My Bee is 150 grams and in a 16 qt, as well as some breeders use Iris Long tubs for babies.
