I was gonna post this in one of the cornsnake sections, but since this is specificaly related to Honduran Milksnakes I went ahead and put it here.
Some of you may know that I'm trying to get into snake breeding. I do plan on selling, but I don't by any means plan on getting rich, its just something that I want to do.
This could apply to a number of snakes, but I plan on getting a pair of albino hondos soon and had a question about housing hatchlings. I know alot of people use 6 qt. shoeboxes for hatchlings, but my concern is, depending on how many hatchlings there are, not be able to sell them before they outgrow the 6 qt. I know its not an overnight change, but its still worrying me a little.
Would it be okay to use 12qt. or 15qt. tubs for hatchlings, maybe if I added an extra hide or two?
I'd rather build one bigger rack that can hold them longer than have to build another rack when they outgrow 6qts.
