Cage size

[Stewart_Reptiles]

I know this thread is old but, was just browsing around looking for info about adult enclosures and whatnot. A lot of people saying a 41qt tub is fine for an adult, but, my 5m/o female is in a 41 qt Weathertight locking tub (lots of holes for ventilation). She's about 230g, she has 2 medium size pangea black box hides, a water bowl, a smallish piece of driftwood and a silk pothos vine for clutter. I just cannot imagine an adult female being comfortable in that tub. For one, 2 Large Pangea hides, which she will definitely need, would take up nearly all of her floor space. I know they generally prefer to be coiled up in small dark spaces, but i don't think she would be able to move around in there at all... granted, mine is slightly different dimensions (about 23x18x8") but dang. just a thought

That your experience based on a single animal you own.

The 41 quarts described have a floor space of 35x16 and people do not generally use hides in tubs for adults. For comparison a 40 gallons breeder tank commonly used by people using tank has a floor space of 36x18. Just some food for the thoughts.
