    What size tubs are you using?

    I am in the process of changing my ball pythons over to tubs and would like some opinions on size of tubs for the size of snake. Please see the chart below and comment if I am on the right track.

    6 Qt = Hatchlings
    15 Qt = up to 500g
    32 Qt = 500 g and larger

    Is it good practice to breed ball pythons in the 32Qt tub or should a larger one be used? (i.e., 41Qt.)

    Thanks in advanced for your coments and opinions.

    Adults: 41 quart.
    Subadults: umm.. not sure on the measurements, but they're a little more than half as wide as a 41 quart, and the same height (and fit into the same rack.)
    '08 juvies: shoebox sized.

    These are the sizes I use. But anyone over 1500 grams goes in a 41 qt.
