    Tub Sizes

    I know I've asked this question before but I'm putting together a giant guide book for myself and want information on tubs. Specifically tub size for different species of snakes. So, if anyone keeps thier snakes in tubs (like a rack system) if you would please, let me know what size tub as far as quarts go. Example. 32qt and 41qts, or you can give exact dimensions.

    Need tub sizes for the following:

    Hatchling Balls
    Sub-adult Balls
    Adult Balls (both male and female)
    Hatchling Corns
    Sub-adult Corns
    Adult Corns
    Hatchling Kings
    Sub-adult Kings
    Adult Kings
    Hatchling Leos
    Sub-adult Leos
    Adult Leos

    Thats about it. I've decided to put together a large snake care book for myself so I always have a source to go look at whenever needed instead of searching and searching online. This book will cover feeding, housing, heating, ect. And it will be on my computer. So first I'm starting with housing. I'm starting off with snakes and leos but eventually it will cover many different types of reptile.

    Hatchling Balls- I think 6 qts work well
    Sub-adult Balls- ???
    Adult Balls (both male and female)???
    Hatchling Corns- 6 qt work well
    Sub-adult Corns- 18 qts. work well as a step before the 30+/- qt. tubs
    Adult Corns 31 qt and 41 qt for the bigguns
    Hatchling Kings- Same as corns
    Sub-adult Kings- Same as corns
    Adult Kings- Same as corns
    Hatchling Leos- 6 qt
    Sub-adult Leos-31 qt
    Adult Leos- 31 qt.

    6 qt. - 14.7x8.5x5in
    18 qt-16.3x11.1x10in
    30 qt- 22.8x16.7x7in
    41 qt- 34 3/4" x 16 1.2" x 6"

    These sizes are to the best of my knowledge

    Too many boas to list and a few balls as well

    Thanks. I'll add them in and wait for more replies. After housing is finished I'm moving onto individual caresheets for each species.

    Re: Tub Sizes

    I love 41-qt. tubs. They are great for adult BPs and corns.
    I feel that they are fine for subadult BPs too, if a large water dish is provided to take up space. I keep my adults and '06's in them in my rack; now they Are too big for hatchlings.

    For my hatchlings, I use shoebox size tubs
    For sub adults I will start with the 16q and then move to 32 qt
    For adults, you can't beat the Iris CB70 (34x17.5x5.3)

    Re: Tub Sizes

    I use three sizes, 6, 28, and 41 quart.
    You can estimate the sizes, and when to switch.
