I prefer to keep all of my snakes in vivs where possible. I only use RUBs as temporary accomodation unitl they are large enough to move. I always go by the rule of the length of the snake should never be more than the length + width of the viv. So the maximum for a 3x2 viv is a 5' snake and obviously a 4x2 for anything up to 6'. I don't know what size RUBs are in inches so couldn't say which one to choose but the same rules should apply.


1.1.0 Arizona mountain king (Sylar and Claire)
0.1.0 Blotched king ( Jasmin)
1.1.0 Guyana red-tail boa (Hercules and Athena)
1.0.1 children (Alfie and BUMP)

Thanks guys. Mine is still small at the moment so RUBs will be ok but I need to think long term as well as to how it will fit in space wise with my other snakes.
