I have a few of these laying around. Just wondering if its too small. If it's ok, until what size can I keep them there. Tanks

6qt containers are good for hatchlings, not too big. You can probably use them until the snake is around 200g? Some snakes just love smaller enclosures. Good luck.

6 qt is perfect for hatchlings (they feel secure in them). Keep them in there till they don't fit, (300-500grams) or they are eating very, very well.
