Ball python tubs ?

I recently picked up 2 ball pythons.They were housed together and as of right now I still have then together in 40 Exotera.
I want to switch to tubs for them for all the good reasons that go with using tubs.
I was look at a few different sizes today and I almost believe that the 28qt tube would be big enough for now.
The male is a about 1030 grams and the female is 900.
What do you guys think ??

I would go ahead and make a melamine 5-6 level rack for 41-qt under-bed tubs. Give the snakes some hides so they feel secure. Put both in the rack, and use the 40-breeder to quarantine the next one you buy - because you will buy another one (or three), snakes are like potato chips.

Haha ,, I do know what you mean !!
BUT this time I'm going to try to stick with just these 2, so I probably won't be making
a wrack set up.It does sound like everyone likes the 41 quart tubs for ball pythons.
I'm just wondering how to keep the ambient temp at 80.

You can make a rack just for your two tubs...it's the easiest way to heat & reduce the risk of escapes.
Heat tape is the easiest way to provide the necessary temperatures.

To directly answer your first question, yes, 28 qt tubs are fine for now. The female will eventually need a larger tub; the male may/may not.

Dave - shoot me a PM if you're going to build a small rack. I've probably got some melamine and heat tape...and probably a suggestion or two.
