breeders who use 41qt and 28qt ?

adamjeffery Aug 28, 2009 08:06 PM

i was wondering if the ball python breeders out their could post pictures of an adult female bp in a 41 qt and a 28 qt.
im asking because none of my balls are bigger than 600 grams at the moment and ive seen many breeders out their using 41 qt, but i know of just as many using 28qt with no problems.
so i cant remember of the top of my head how cramped the 28qts were and would like to see 41 qts with big ol females in them
thanks

I use 41qts for everything from yearlings to big females. Mine have more than enough room in the 41qt. A cb-70 is, if memory serves correctly, 3 inches longer and about 4 inches wider than a 41qt, not too much of a difference.

I was in Target about a week ago and picked up some 41 qt's for $4.44 each. That would be a good price on 28 qt's. I use lids in my racks and have found that I can use a 41 qt in a rack that is deep enough for a 28 qt and that the end of the 41 qt that sticks out causes me no problems due to the tight snapping lids. My biggest females I keep in a tub I found at Sams years ago (and not since) that is almost 4 ft X 2ft.
