What size tub do you use for your breeder racks?

I will soon be building some new racks and am looking for some tubs.

thanks

32's and 41's are my main staple of tub sizes.

41's and some odd sized bus boy tubs I got from a restaurant supply place that are probably about 25 qrt size.....

Thanks for the replys... I have a pair of pet store babies so no idea if they are het for anything... but they should be ready to go.... both are close to 1500 grams. I planned on swinging by walmart tonight on my way home and check out some tubs. I just wanted to be sure to get one large enough for both to fit in.

Everyone I have talked to says now is when I need to start introducing them. This will be my first year breeding Balls... although I have no trouble with Corns.... I still have alot to learn about the Balls as far as breeding goes. They currently reside in my herp room that stays between 80-83*.... do I need to do any kind of temp drops?

yes.... that is the ambient room temps

They are currently in the same rack as my colubrids and have heat tape.... but the hot spot is only around 86*

That is why I am building another rack for just my Balls.

That's around the temp range I lower to for breeding season..They should both be ready to lockup with a male about now.
