    Tubs and hides, question

    I've been looking through some of your plastic tub and racks pictures. My 4.5 ft adult male python is arriving tomorrow, I was wondering if my 106qt tub would work. Its more height but it measures around 33 by 19 by 12, I think. Also I noticed, maybe its just me, but in some of the tubs I see only have one hide. Do you need two when using a tub or can one just be used?

    Thanks.

    Re: Tubs and hides, question

    I did use two hides while I used tanks. Now I have a rack and it is enclosed on three sides and is pretty dark, and now only use one hide. Although, I do offer two hides since I moved my babies up to a larger tub, but only with my more shy bps. They all use their hides regularly, so I will continue to offer them.

    If I was setting up a tub like yours, I would most likely use two hides myself. That's just me though...

    I offer atleast two hides, one on each side of the tub ... with the water bowl in the middle of the tub.
    Sometimes I offer up to five hides, I have way to many hides *shakes head*

    Re: Tubs and hides, question

    The ones I have in my rack have one hide. The ones that are in tubs but not in racks have 2 hides to choose from. My tubs measure 34"Lx16"Wx6"H so your tub sounds it will be just fine for your big guy.
    Animals are my passion and my life.

    Never, ever underestimate the vital importance of strict and proper quarantine. There is no such thing as being too careful. One mistake can cost a world of damage, and regret that lasts a lifetime.
