    Re: what does everyone use for bp tubs

    I use 6qt for hatchlings, 32qt for sub-adults, and approximately 41qt for adults. I do not use hides, but I do have all of the tubs in rack systems, so all of the sides are covered except for the front.

    I do the same thing with the exception of hides which I provide for all my tubs/snakes.

    I use a couple hides for specific snakes but for the most part, they don't require them.
    A tub after all is essentially a big hide where all of the snake's needs are met.
    I found for sub adults and adult males the dollarstore has plastic mixing bowls and I just cut an appropriately sized hole for them to enter.

    Re: what does everyone use for bp tubs

    I have a 19 qt for my 2 and they love it. I had to rearrange the hides and water bowl because the house has really low humidity to I put the water bowl over the heat pad and it's all gravy now.
