Thanks for sharing your experiences. I've had various pythons (many years ago) and have always used glass aquariums. I've only just learned about tubs and racks.

Someone suggested in another thread that putting a young snake in an adult size (27 qt) tub would be bad because the snake wouldn't feel secure in the open area. Some else suggested crumpled newspaper and various hides to fill up the space until the snake grew. I'd rather not have to keep upgrading the size of the tubs because I won't be breeding so the smaller tubs will go to waste quickly.

I want to get three BPs because I have three kids and it would make things less stressful for ME. A rack system of tubs would take up less room and be easier to maintain. Anyone have any suggestions for an inexpensive rack system (with heat) for three or four BPs?

Thanks.
