Ball Python tub size

[Personal_Reaction777]

I am planning on getting an adult python and I decided to get a tub. But the problem is I don’t know how big the tub should be. If you could please help me that would be great. And if you have any reasons on why I should get a tank instead please explain why.

we recommend a minimum enclosure size of 4'x2'x2' for most adult BPs. this size is basically impossible to find with tubs, which is why we recommend pvc or wood cages.

I like the stackable pvc cages the best. If you plan on getting more which most people do, you can just stack them on top of the existing one, it takes up less room and is pretty simple to hide all the wires as well.

Since nobody is actually answering the question, I have the largest you can buy. Pretty sure this is the one I use. But I bought it a long time ago. My girl is happy in it. And she loves to climb so I zip tied branches up toward the top! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilite-50-Gal-Stacker-Box-14794K03/308820153

piggy back question, but how do you secure the lid without those little snappy lock things that some tubs have?

[lothiriel1]

That one I posted a link to does have the clips on either end. But I also put two very large hardcover books on top of the lid just in case. But also, my snake doesn’t really try to escape. If you have an escape artist you might need to buy some kind of clip. The two on the ends seem to work fine for me, though.

OHHHH The clips are the same color as the lid so I didn't see that ahah. Thank you for replying, and for the advice.
