Enclosure size question

[Hazz332]

Just curious how long this girl is going to be ok in this sized tub. She’s almost 800g. When would I have to move up to a 41qt?

I don't know that anyone can tell you exactly how long she'd be okay in that tub. The rule of thumb, as I understand it, is the enclosure should be large enough for your snake to fully stretch out long the front/back and one of the sides. Each snake grows at a different pace depending on a multitude of factors so it's hard to estimate for you.

No problem!

Also sorry it took awhile for someone to get back to you. I did see your post yesterday but thought I'd leave it for someone that uses tubs to answer. The rule about enclosure size is just what I've always been told about any other type of enclosure so I assume it would work with tubs as well.

Full disclosure, I have no experience with racks/tubs, so if someone who does gives you different advice I would defer to them.
