Right I've decided on the rack system for starting my collection but im not too sure on the sizes for rubs as there seem to be some capacities that come in different sizes and i don't know which are best as they are either tall and not a lot of floor space or plenty floor space and pretty shallow. what do you guys use or recommend 1st off I'll need a rub to set up for my cb11 female which i think weighs 275g that i will be getting delivered in 4 weeks so which size will be best for her?
Thanks Carl

That's great thanks guys does the restriction on height on some of the rubs not bother them

I am not a fan of RUBS, I make no secret in this fact, I use them though as they are super practical for baby snakes, frogs and bugs.

BUT

Royals are not your typical snake, they aren't for show, they are happy to sit doing nothing in one place for weeks on end so a RUB is perfectly adequate for them. They dont climb all that much in general either so height is not the biggest concern keeping them, a good appropriately sized hide, food, water and warmth is about all they require, anything else is a bonus
