    I wish I could find a way that dividers that actually worked. I have tried a few different designs in the past and failed miserably.

    Cooliotiffany, do you find that having an extra 1qt for females is needed, or a extra 4-6 qts gives enough room for an extra couple hundred grams? Or are these the setups you had around? I don't think I would have the resources necessary to use a system with specific nature. Thank you for the great guidelines, that is more of what I thinking with my new arrivals, with some minor changes of your guidelines.

    There was a recent poll that asked a similar question, it seemed most people voted that they kept their snakes in 15 qt tubs up to 600-1000 grams which was surprising. I provide a lot of hides though. That may be a reason why all of mine have always eaten. When they are small in a 32qt tub they have 4 small hides, as they grow I switch to 2 appropriate sized hides...I don't know, works for me but I would like to save space especially if it works better. I just haven't needed to worry too much about it yet until now.

    Re: Small tubs out of necessity or because of space?

    Ah well, 41qt is basically what I would use for any adult female. the 40qt is what I have my oldest male in and I like how it works so far. Although, even a 34qt or so wouldn't be bad for an adult male.

    Sorry if it seemed I was being strict on my guidelines for how I house my Balls, it was just to show how I feel about housing Balls of a certain weight and what I usually go by. I believe that they should have some space to be able to move around in even if they do like confined areas. But anyone can do whatever they love and I certainly respect that, just don't think an 800g Ball would look comfortable in such a confined space.

    Hope you find what you like best for your new guys, and hoping to see photos of their arrival!
