Nest size up from shoebox?

Heat Aug 23, 2007 01:07 AM

Some of my April kids are around 300grams & more than twice the length of the "shoebox" size tubs I have them in.

Suggestions on the next size up to move them into?

Poor things, don't even fit in their hides anymore. Pounding just about anything I put in with them (except for 1).

well the next size up from a normal 6 quart shoe box would be (pending on brand) the 15 quart thats slightly longer taller and wider those are what i will be using on my next rack i make for my inbetween size snakes and my hold back babies.

Sterilite clearvies i like the best so far
6 quart 1752 for babies
15 quart 1754 for hold backs and very young juvies
32 quart 1756 for juvies and sub adults
then it would be switched over in brand to the cb-70
some use the sterilite 41 quart 1960(i think thats the right number) but i dont feel that is big enough for adults i prefer a lil larger that just so few extra inches everywhere helps alot i think

I have them all retained in my head as well, it's horrible. So many racks, building plans, and materials on order. This hobby is so addicting. Funny when a I spend more money on my hobby then the local crackhead down the street does on his. LoL
