I'm planing Using This RBI cages:
So with Floor Measuring 18.25x12 inch i will have 219 Sq inches of Floor.... I want to mount wheel for exercise and Chewing decrease as Kaorte tread shows...
i think i will go with 1.1 on beginning there there and After Litter wean i will be moving surviving rest to different same size cage (i dont think between 3 house Snakes and 4 adult Ball pythons i will have 2 much leftovers...) I I will Start running off feeders too fast i can Save on of Younger females and increase Breeding colony to 1.2...and i caln always sell rest to neighborhood pet store
How This sounds ???

Couple Noob Questions....`
Please don't do a 1.1. I always do a 1:3 or a 1:4. When your female is pregnant, your boy needs more to do.
A lot of keepers that I know, myself included, use dishwasher tubs from the dollar store and keep 1:3.
My rack:
I haven't had any issues with chew outs.

Nice! What are the dimensions on those tubs? I don't really mind my current setup, but I'm thinking I at least need a modified lid.

I think that's the size I use. I also have the big ones for rats. Either way they'll manage to all cram in at once

Yeah they will find a way to run on the wheel, big or small.

Yes.
I've also found that if you need to introduce another female or a male into an already established colony, it works best to add a freshly weaned little one.
