i'm working on building a rack and have a question for you guys. I've run across the 41qt bins that are very long (rectangular) in shape...and then have found 35qt that are more of a square shape. the rest of the measurements are about the same for both. the 35 qt would actually work better for me as far as the space i have and such but wanted to know what you guys thought. is that extra 6qt really needed?
thanks!

35 quart are just fine for average sized adult ball pythons. I have a female that is four feet long and she stretches out around the edges and has plenty of room to crawl around. That said, they usually just find a nice spot and coil up for the majority of the time.

CB70 size is what I use. Having said that, I see others using smaller tubs and they are working out just fine.
I just like the bigger tubs better. If you have a 3000 gr. girl in a 35 qt. tub then throw in a 1500gr. male....well it looks kinda cramped to me. Who knows, maybe they like it.
