It depends on what you consider full adult of rull grown. A 2000 gram adult should be fine, but a 4000 gram might be cramped. As long as it is not too large it should be fine,the only thing I am looking into is the 6" tall part. Make sure there is good ventilation because the air could get stagnant in that cramped of a space.

That is a 2221 rubbermaid and is probably the most common sized tub for ball breeders so yup, an adult ball can live in it just fine I would say.

I've seen a few 2500g-3000g females in these and they look mighty cramped.

I agree with you Chris, but I know a lot of breeders never go bigger than that size so they can be used for adults. I have a rack for the 33" long underbeds that I use for the really big guys, my 2600g male I couldn't imagine in a 24" long tub!!

Depends on the ball - some don't get so big and some don't do much more than lay in their hide so yeah if you've got one on the smaller side 1500 gram or less or not very active then it would be ok.
For a bigger snake I would go with something closer to a CB70 size - (17 3/4"W x 33 1/2"L x 6"H) they seem perfect for my adults - for really big girls (over 2500 grams) - I would go with something closer to CB75s (22 3/10"W x 37 3/10"L x 6 4/5"H).
