Can adult taeniura I figure about 130 to 160cm be kept in a readily available rack system? If so what size tubs in quarts can they be kept in?

Since Beauties are such active, racer-like snakes, I think it's best to go with as large an enclosure as you can. For example, I have a couple 5+ ft adult Chinese Beauties which I keep in 24"x36"x12" cages, and they seem to have plenty of room. I keep all of the rest of my snakes in rack systems, and some are close to the same size as the Beauties, but are less active snakes, and do fine in 41 qt tubs. I have seen a rack system which I think would be great for taenis, but I don't think I can say here who makes them without the post being removed. The tubs used are about 4+'L x 20"W x 12(?)"H. Or, you could build your own racks, like I do, and get some 100+ qt Sterilites or Rubbermaids.
