What tub size do you guys/gals use for ball pythons under 200 grams? I had two females about 150 grams on 32qt tubs because that's all I had at the moment. I just bought a couple of Sterelite 6qt. tubs and I wonder if 6qt. is too small for them. Thanks in advance.
 
I found the answer to my Q (if any one out there was asking themselves the same question)
I found that 6qt tubs are good for balls up to 350 grams or even 400. Thanks anyway :)
 
I've never kept any snake on anything smaller than 15qt hence my question about the 6qt. I will upgrade them to 15qt or bigger as soon as I order my new rack. I just went and took one of my 400g balls and put her in a 6qt (just to see how it looks) and it looks too much of a tight fit for her. For now my 150 gramers will stay in 6qt tubs. Thanks for the response

Not a problem. Its late, so you might not get a lot of responses right now. Im sure more will chime in later and give you a better idea of what the general consensus is.
 
I use (sterilite) 6 qt tubs for my bp's that are 200g and under; if I'm short on 12 qt tubs, the highest I'll go in the 6 qt is 250g. But that's only temporary. I keep my 'next season' breeders in 28 qts & my breeders are in 41 qts.
