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

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

. 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...

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
