There is no such thing as overkill, most breeders using racks go way too small in the first place imo. Small enclosures are enough to keep your animal alive and breeding, but that doesn't necessarily make it good for the snake.

41 qt tubs are just under or about 3ftx1.5ft. I would never go that small for any of the snakes mentioned above, especially ratsnakes which tend to climb when given the chance. I had adult ball pythons in 4 x 2 ft enclosures. Seeing them curled up in a corner made the enclosure look nice and big, but as soon as they started roaming and stretching I realized they would appreciate bigger.

i really wasnt sure and didnt want to go 41 if it was going to be boa sized i need the rack right now because i dont have room for huge display enclosures i just need somthing to hold the guys not on display that saved space in a year or i will have moved and will hopfully have saved up for nice display enclosures for everyone right now most are still not full sized I will go with the 41 then thank you
