For comparison's sake, here is the floor surface area of the Animal Plastics options you mentioned compared to the most common tubs used for adult female ball pythons:
- Animal Plastics T8 (standard): 1152 in2 (48" x 24")
- Animal Plastics T3: 864 in2 (36" x 24")
- Vision V-70: 595 in2 (34" x 17.5")
- Freedom Breeder FB70: 586 in2 (33.5" x 17.5")
- Iris CB-70: 581.875 in2 (33.25" x 17.5")
- Animal Plastics T8 (divided): 576 in2 (24" x 24")
- Animal Plastics T1: 576 in2 (24" x 24")
- ARS 70-Series: 571.3125 in2 (33" x 17.3125")
The reason the T8 is recommended as often as it is is because, even when divided, it's a size in line with an adult ball python's needs. It offers the flexibility of both giving a single BP more than enough room in a big display setup or adding a divider and a second BP without cramping their style. The divider is only held in place by pressure and can easily be added or removed at any time.
On a related note, these things are like pringles. How could anyone just have one?!?!
