Balls in Racks?

DanW Sep 02, 2007 02:30 PM

Would an adult Ball be comfortably housed in a tub that measures 35"x16"x6"? Is Flex-watt pretty safe on these plastic tubs?

Thanks,
Dan

The size would be fine. I know people that keep adult male (not female) boas in a 3 foot enclosure.
As far as the heat, I do not use it so I am not sure.

it works great in a rack, as long as you wire it right

Yes. I hold my big females in CB70s which is 17.75 x 33.5 x 6.
They work great, and give them lots of room. I use flexwatt and love it. Just make sure you get a good thermostat. I suggest spyder robotics (herpstat) or Helix. Johnson control or Rancho will work also. Hope this helps.
