Proper sizing or snake racks

When it comes to setting up a rack system for your ball pythons, choosing the correct tub size is crucial for their well-being. Ball pythons naturally live in burrows in the ground, so providing them with a secure and appropriately sized enclosure is essential for their health.

What size tub is best for hatchlings?

For hatchlings weighing 250 grams or less, a 6qt tub is the ideal size 13"x8"x5". These smaller tubs provide a cozy and secure environment for the young snakes to thrive in.

What tub size is suitable for juvenile ball pythons?

As your ball pythons grow into juveniles weighing roughly 250 to 900 grams, it's time to upgrade to a 28qt tub rack 24"x16"x6". These larger tubs offer more space for the juvenile snakes to move around comfortably.

Will a 28qt/32qt tub last a ball python its entire life?

While the 28qt tubs are perfect for juvenile ball pythons, they will not suffice for their entire life. As your ball pythons reach 900 grams and above, it's time to transition them to a 41qt tub, which is the adult rack size.

Why choose a 41qt tub for adult ball pythons?

The 41qt tub is specifically designed for adult ball pythons weighing 900 grams and above. These larger tubs offer ample space for the adult snakes to stretch out, move around, and live comfortably in their enclosure.

By selecting the appropriate tub size for your ball python rack system based on their weight and growth stage, you can ensure that your snakes have a secure and comfortable environment to thrive in. Remember, providing the right size tub is essential for the overall well-being and happiness of your ball pythons.
