Switching to a tub?

so My bp has pretty much just had bad sheds not real bad just a little bit of remainder but still nothing whole has come from him yet. so i was wondering if a tub that is 10 1/2in long 8 1/2 in wide and 3in deep would be ok to house a Royal that is 21 1/2 in long roughly? or how big should i upsize for him? i dont really feel like an glass tank is any good for a bp, corn is ok bp no

Seems a little on the small side to me. I think, (and someone can correct me if I am wrong) You want a container at least two thirds the snakes body length.

Re: Switching to a tub?

You can get a 106 quart tub for about $10.00 at Walmart. They're about 34x17x13. This is what i got my Yellow Anaconda and BRB in work great.
Or if you want some it could live in the rest of it life check this tub out. I am thinking about getting some.

Re: Switching to a tub?

That's barely big enough for a baby corn.
You'll need something at least 23X16X6 for something that size.
Common sense people!

I think within reason the more space it has the better, as long as there is provision of hides etc and you can balance the temps and humidity. My bp has a 48x30x30 inch viv and seems to be happy
