What does you snake weigh? I would say the hide is to big for a 16qt tub, that's my opinion. I would try the 28qt and see what happens. I just received a 106g snake in the mail yesterday and I put him in a 40qt with 2 hides, water bowl, and fake leaves and he ate 6 hours after arrival. I have a good feeling he will be ok, I also have a snake that is about 150g I purchased from the same breeder a few months ago and she is in a 28x24x12 vision and has ate every meal with no signs of stress. I took a chance and it worked but I'm not saying to do the same as me bc it probably wouldn't work out for most. I do have supplies ready if it didn't work out so I say you can try the 28qt but keep the 16qt on hand just in case. Don't handle until it's eating consistently.
