What size tubs you keep you BP's in if your using racks...I build (their not pretty...LOL) my own racks...Of course I use shoebox tubs for hatchlings...Males never come out of 28 quart tubs...I do have some smaller breeder females in 28 quarts but the majority of my big girls are in 41 quarts...I love the temp gradient I get in the 41 quarts...Works like a charm over here -

Dude, I plan on keeping everything in 32 quart tubs unless I get a female up to a huge size. Then I am gonna use CB70 or something bigger than a 32 quart.

The cool thing about those AP racks i bought is that each shelf will fit a 2- 15qt. tubs or 1-32qt. sterilite. So I can grow them up in the 15 quarts and then just switch them over to 32 quart in the same rack.

All my snakes, male or female, are in CB70's. I prefer these because they allow my snakes to move around without dragging their bodies through their wastes. I also built my 2 racks myself so they were build around the CB70. I love the built in water bowls and the chinese resturant down the street has cups for soup that fit perfectly in their.

I've got two racks, one with seven 41qt tubs that I keep my bigger females (1300-1800 gms) and breeder males (700-800gms) in and another rack with 15qt and 32 qt tubs that house some smaller '07's(350-800gms).

I use 32qt for all adults but I wish I built my racks for 41qts instead. Not because the 32qts are too small but because there isn't much temp gradient.

In fact I'm thinking my females will need to be cooled a little more then I would if I were using 41qt tubs. In the future all my females will be in 41qt tubs

I use 6 qt for the babies, 32 qt for sub-adults under 1000 grams, and adjustable breeder rack's medium tubs for the adults. Sorry I do not know the quart size for the adult tubs. I would say around 40 qt or so.

Same as BT for my girls. The 41's just seem to fit them perfectly.

Most all of my adults live in 28 quart boxes with the exception of a few large girls....

Babies in 6qts, adults in 28qt. However I hope that by the time some of my girls just can't live in a 28 anymore, I'll be able to afford a freedom breeder CB-70 rack.

My breeder girls are in CB70 tubs though I will be breeding a few in the 32 qt tubs this year. Adult males are kept in 32 qt tubs. Hatchling to yearling size are in either a shoe box or a Iris 410. Not sure what size it is but is great for growin ' 'em up. JP

What size tubs you keep you BP's in if your using racks...-

Big girls are in CB-70 tubs (33"x18"), most males and smaller breeder girls in 32 quart sterilite tubs (24"x17").

I use 6 qts , 15 qts , 32 qts and 41 qts for the monsters. I'm considering some CB70 tubs for adult females when I get enough girls to justify the rack building process.

I'm also on the same set up as BT... I try to put all the girls that will be breeding in a cb70, but if I don't have room for a smaller girl I'll breed her in a sweaterbox size tub.
