since they are yearlings (the pair i might buy is) what should they be living in? rubbermaid tubs what size do i want (to last a bit till i build there full sized cages) how big of water bowl should they have I know big enough to soak but i will obviously buy every thing a head of time

It all depends on the size of the animal. I currently have my pair in 11 gallon rubbermaids, but my male is a bit of a monster for his age. I will be upgrading him to a 40"x24" underbed unit very soon :rolleyes: If you want to be sure they have enough room untilt hey get in their adult enclosures, I would suggest going with an underbed model. Rubbermaid and sterilite both make underbed units, if you wanted to go with the largest type Gracious Living "Storage Solutions" makes the 40" units. They give alot more floor space than the 11/13 gallon totes. Kitty litter pans and rubbermaid totes work well for waterdishes as well. Hope this helped ;)

Ok i think i will grab a couple smaller ones The breeder told me they are about 16" now or so I will upgrade later the smaller tubs make them feel more secure
Are you sure they are yearlings? That's awful small, considering they hatchout at that size :confused:. If they are indeed yearlings, I would be very weary about them. My 8 month old female is 31", and my yearling male, pictured below, (albeit he is large for his age) is 3.5' and feeding on one rat every 2 weeks...

maybe Henry is talking about some newly born ones and i am looking at his yearings he has a ton of snakes i dont hink he puts very many on his site compared to what he has i think he sells em too fast i will ask him whats up
If it helps any, my 8 month old female is from Henry's clutch last year. She's a beauty, I think she's going to finish up nicely :)
