41 qt?

[Greyscale_Geckos]

Hey all,

First time posting in this section.

I was wondering if a 41 qt tub would be an appropriate size for a young ball python? I have two that I got on sale today, so I was curious if that would be appropriate. It looks to have (or at least close to having) the floor space of a 20 gallon long, which a coworker of mine used for each of her BPs when they were young.

The above mentioned coworker of mine is doing a pastel x pastel breeding in early '09 and has offered me one of the offspring. Knowing the beauty of her snakes and their wonderful attitudes there was no way I could refuse!

Thanks ahead of time!

That will work. That's even big enough for small adults I have a friend here that breeds his in 40 gallon tubs.

41 qrts sounds perfect even for big females. Depending on the floor area a 41qt has a little more room then a Vision CB70 rack I believe. And thats one of the hottest racks out there for ball python breeding.
Good luck and hope you get one of those pastels your friend is trying to produce.

I use 41 Qt, for my adult females. Around 1,200 grams to 1,700 grams would be great.

So long as you're using hides, they'll work well. Mine seem much happier in a smaller space than a larger one, and I don't use hides. I haven't got any adults over 1400g though, and they kind of just lay around.
