We are getting ready to release a line of cages so I have been through every box possible looking for the most versatile and practical.

My favorite box is the 32-quart Sterilite. It's perfect for almost all adult species of sand boas, colubrids, and even ball pythons. A large female will need something larger but most adult males and all juveniles work great in them.

As far as hatchlings go, don't do the 4 1/2 quart unit. The babies will outgrow it in a matter of probably 6-8 weeks. Go with the 6-quart box instead. They're $1.29 at any Target store (Target is the gettin' place, they stock a ton of both Rubbermaid and Sterilie).

As far as boxes in general go, Rubbermaids are a bit more sturdy but they have a lot of nooks and crannies that make cleaning a nightmare. I've standardized on the Sterilite 6-quart box, the Sterilite 15-quart box, and the Sterilite 32-quart box. All have minimal crevices and all have just one single groove all the way around which makes cleaning easy.

Hope this helps,
