this actually makes sense shes always been very timid where as all my other bps are curious roamers. ill leave the sides of her bin papered up and start looking for a hide, im building the new rack, do you think i should move them into bigger bin they are all in 32qt now because that was the largest this rack could hold. shes the only one that i think could use a bigger bin the rest are all ~1000 grams ... but obviously they are growing also. on the other hand i know they like small spaces and iv read many times 32qt is fine for adults

32qt should be okay for most adults I think. Big females will probably end up needing something bigger, though. A lot people keep their big females in 37qt or 41qt tubs and do quite well at that size.
All of mine were put in 37qt tubs immediately. Even the little 80g hatchlings.
If it's a choice between getting something bigger or smaller, if you're planning on keeping them long term to adulthood (and maybe beyond), I would always say get bigger. You can make a bigger tub smaller if needed, but you can't make a smaller tub bigger.

i have never thought of that.... you could take a big tub and divide it into 4 or 6 for hatchlings... that's brilliant. i think i will go bigger for everyone, i get too attached to my snakes i told myself id use them for breeding and sell them when im done with them to make room for prettier ones ..... cant do it haha ... now im telling myself im only going to keep one from the clutch ... we'll see how well that goes after i watch them in the incubator for 2 months XD

32 qt is fine for adult males for adult females I would go bigger especially if you breed your male in the females tub.
