    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey everyone, I'm new to the snake scene and I"m planning on getting a few ball pythons to try my hand at breeding them. I'm planning on making my own rack based off a design I found on youtube, but I don't know how big the tubs need to be to house adult ball pythons, and what is the best way to heat all of them at once?
 
I would use belly heat and not back heat. As far as the tubs go it depends on your price point really. You can get 41qt sterilite bins and they are the cheapest but over time you will realize that. You can get the cb70 iris tubs which are much better but also a little more pricey. If you decide to go with the IRIS tubs then I would also strongly look at the Freedom Breeder bins they are a a couple dollars more then the Iris but are built for the industry and made with everything you need already.
