    Tub size for 4.5ft bp

    I was wonder what size I would need, because I'm considering of purchusing a 4.5 ft adult male bp. I have a couple more questions also. Like what would be the reccomended hide sizes and since I wouldn't be able to get flexwatt in time for him (Overnight shipping) I was also wondering would just a reg uth work, if I watch the temps properly?

    As always thanks for any and all replys.

    Re: Tub size for 4.5ft bp

    I don't think a male ball would need anything bigger than a 28-32qt tub, they aren't as robust as females are fully grown.

    I use a 28qt rubbermaid tub and use small cat litter pans as hides (cut a hole in the bottom and flip it upside down). Seems to work well.

    Thank you. I was considering kitty litter pans, thought they'd be the perfect size. I just hope that I can get him. I'm waiting on the guy to return my email to see if he accpets paypal or not.

    Not necessarily, I have 2 males that are over 2000g. One is just under 2500g at 5 feet.

    Kitty litter pans rock. I also use those skinny Priority Mail boxes with a hole cut in one end. Free and disposable.
    Animals are my passion and my life.

    Never, ever underestimate the vital importance of strict and proper quarantine. There is no such thing as being too careful. One mistake can cost a world of damage, and regret that lasts a lifetime.

    lol, i've got asst colors, i use a chunky soup can to trace the holes out. those stickers are a major PITA to get all the residue complety off. i'd rather have the sticker than a smidgen of glue left behind. (i don't want to use any chemicals to get it off).

    Re: Tub size for 4.5ft bp

    I know what you mean. Some stickers are a PITA to get off, but it's one of those annoying pet peeves of mine. For the stubborn ones I use Citrusolve which is supposedly pretty safe, but it washes off really well with soap and water.

    LOL. No, the Citrusolve washes off pretty well with the soap. You use the Citrusolve to get the gummy :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r:e off. I don't know why they can't just use that Post-it adhesive for those stickers in the first place...
