v-18 tubs

snakemansam Nov 20, 2012 01:51 PM

Whats the biggest ball python anybody keeps in a v-18. THey are sold as hatchling tubs, but I have heard of folks keeping males up to 1000g in them. That seems like a tight squeeze. Any input?

Around 500-700g for max for me. I keep larger solo cups as water bowls in mine and any bigger is just unhealthy IMO. They typically move up to a FB-30 for me, or the new ARS 5040 would be great for adult males and females to 1200g-1500g or so.

There will be a new vision tub out shortly called the V-35 short. It will replace 2 V-18s. Allowing you to keep grow outs in the hatchling rack!
