Tub sizes

[Masonic]

I was wondering what size of tubs everyone keeps there ball pythons in. Currently I keep hatchling up to 500g in 12 quarts. 500-1000g in 28 quarts and 1000+ in 40 guards. Does that sound about right?

I've heard:
6 qt up to 300 grams
15 qt up to 700 grams
28 qt up to 1300 grams
41qt for bigger.

Just a basic outline.

Sounds fine.



I generally do:
Hatchling - 6qt
300-500 - 15 qt
500-1000 - 28/32 qt
2000+ - 41 qt

I always thought my 400g bp's always looked crammed in 12q but I guess it's bout right with you guys

You can always upgrade.
It's not a huge deal. Those are just guidelines, not the rule.

Some more sensitive snakes who are picky eaters may do better in a smaller tub, than being upgraded to a larger tub.
And some could probably go into a 32qt as a 200g snake and have no issues.
It just varies between individuals

Sorry I was wrong my 500-1000 are kept in 31q

All in 37 quart tubs. All the way down to the 80 gram hatchlings (when I got them).
