Hey everyone got a few questions,sorry long winded,i was once into the boas and pythons back when I was a kid-teenager,and I raised them successfully as pets in tubs (please don't hate me)and never had a single problem with health or anything really,then got out of if for unseen circumstances,now getting back into the smaller animals like corns ,rats, milks,right now I have them in small aquarriums (man do I hate them)I want to put them in these tubs(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H2NVSG2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T1_9FyozbPZMRQS8)was wondering if they are big enough,originally I was going to build some cages but remembered how easy to maintain the tubs were,now question on heating,as I said I WAS going to build cages and buy radiant heat panels,i called a gentleman that LOTS of people suggested,and to my surprise he told me it would be a waste of my money (all tho he said he would love to make the sale)because the colubrids are very harty animals and being I keep my house in 75 degree range I should be good,so now should I switch gears and go with small flex watt tape, or just wait and see how these guys do,and if I do the heat tape should I run separate thermostat on each animal or can I get away with just one

Thanks for any suggestions

I keep my juveniles in those, but for an adult corn those are not adequate. People say 20g Long is the bare minimum but I personally don't like even that for a snake that reaches 4ft+ easily.

My adults are all in 36x18 floor space caging and even that is a small for some of them. Eugene, my monster at 5'6"+ is in a 4ftx2ft.
