I just bought some tubs this afternoon for the Dollar store (I think the one I shop at is Dollar General). 6 quart "shoebox" and a 16 quart "sweater." I choose Sterilite because they don't smell as much new as all the others. One of the kingsnakes hasn't eaten for a long time, so I'm switching to plain paper towel, two hides and a water dish. He is SO tiny, he is in the 6 quart, but I've got the 16 quart if I decide to bump him up. I figure it is a "hospital" tub until he decides to eat.
NOT how I wanted to keep this guy, but, for what ever reason, he wasn't doing well in the tank. Temps were good, and he had a humid hide; I just don't know. VMS herp site (they sell mostly corn snakes and kings) said that sometimes young snakes just seem to prefer the security of a smaller space.
Sigh.
We'll see.
Cron 14, good luck with your BP.
