    15-Qt Rack

    How long would it take for a hatch ling to outgrow a 15-qt tub? I know a 15 is too big, but I add some cosmetic stuff so it is smaller.

    I'm buying my rack off of Kevin (kagez28) it had 4 15 qt tubs and 1 32 qt tub. now he said he keeps them in the 15 qts until their about 300g, so that gives you plenty of time. But I think when they are under 100g they can stay in smaller tub. But you should be fine, maybe add a hide, plus a water dish, it should be okay, when their about 150g take out the hide, seeing that its already dark and small enough then they should be fine my friend.
    Hope this helps

    Well I guess that wouldn't last too long then. My snake now is around 150g.

    Oh it will last him a while, don't worry like I said, he can stay in the 15 qt till he's at least 300g.

    I've got 800 grammers in a 30 quart tub that's split vertically giving each snake 15 quarts of space. They're doing great, eating great! When I've moved any to a larger tub, they tend to go off feed for a few weeks, or until I move them back.

    Same here! I actually have a 1000 gram female in a divided 32 quart, 750 gram male, etc... Full 32 quart tubs are reserved for 1000 grams +

    Balls like their boxes tight!
