I was just wondering what would be the maximum weight you would keep a ball python hatchling in a medium contico tub up to?

thanks for that. its just i am getting a rack system, just wondering if its better to go for the medium or the large? would the large be too big for a 200g ball python, or is it always better to go for slightly smaller tubs for smaller ball pythons?

hi
check out vivarium design, i have posted a rack I just got from winracks. they are brill.
A medium contico will fit perfectly in a large contico with medium lid off. you would have to push large box up a bit to make sure small was on heatmat. when royals outgrow medium just put them in contico and save a a good few quid. Some royals thrive in big boxes, others need small boxes. If they are happy in large conticos they will do till they hit 1.5kgs.
