i start my hatchlings in a 6 qt shoebox, then bump them up to 15 qt when they get close to 250-300g and finally a 32 qt when they look like then need the room. some love the smaller tubs, and will stay in a 15 qt alot longer then others. if i have a female that is really big i'll put her in a 41 qt.
all the qt sizes i listed are sterilite "clearview" tubs, found at target.
