gonna put both my royal into RUBS so I can strip back there tanks and clean them from mites.

Went staples and got 2 64L Rubs for £20. Instead of 17 each.

But I got a 6 n half foot boa. Is this big enough?

64l should be ok for royals lol 12l are for babies and juviniles. I don't think there will be any size rub big enough for a boa I think u will be best to clean his viv out if he hasn't got mites then keep him on kitchen roll for a while till u have finished treating the royals then when you know Everythin has the all clear you can put the viv back to normal

Moving the snakes completely away from the infestation is actually a very good idea providing you don't take any mites with you. Ikea sell HUGE tubs for about 11 quid. I use one for my snails it's about 130 litres and there was bigger there,, it's huge and the boa won't worry too much about having a smaller space temporarily, the lesser evil really in a mite treatment situation.
