    I use 12 but many people use 3 or 4.
    Just make sure it is regulated.

    I think it is good for smaller snakes but for bigger ones I would go 11"

    I went with 4" because the tubs I got weren't very big (15qt) but now I'm thinking I should have gone with the 6" . Thinking about building racks this summer and I'll definitely size up at that point.

    4" is fine even for a V-70.
