[reptiles ny]

hey i am building a rack and need to tub size for adult bps i have 28qts and some 6qt tubs, is that good for hactlings until adults or do i need other sizess. my bp wont eat frozen so how could you switch from live to frozen feeding

32+ q is usually recommended for adult males. 41q is recommended for adult females and for breeding.

6~12 is good for hatchlings, 32 is often used for juveniles because it cuts down on the types of tubs you need (juveniles and males can all be kept in 32s, making it very easy for you) however a 28q will do nicely.

28qts should be fine for adult males. 28qts have the same floor space as 32qts, but they're just a couple inches shorter. For large females I'd go 41qt. 6qt is fine for hatchlings, then you'd need to move up to 16qt for juvies, then to 28qt/32qt and on to 41qt if they get really big.

When you're trying to feed frozen, is the food warmed up a bit? I've also had good success taking a little bit of bedding from my pet rats and putting it in a corner of a snakes tub, and then rolling the thawed food item in a little soiled rat bedding as well, to help give it a strong scent. Some snakes just hate f/t
