As you may know from my post on the general thread, I'm starting to work with a local pet refuge to improve the way they're keeping their snakes (at present it's a complete mess with no knowledge), space and cost are the 2 major factors for them, so I've suggested keeping the bulk of their collection in RUBs, only slight issue is that I've never used them, so that's where you guys come in.
Can someone give me appropriate RUB sizes for the following (all adult):
Corn
King
Milk
Royal
Carpet
Rock
Also, as cost is a consideration, is there a cheaper way of heating multiple RUBs than heat mats?
Thanks

An adult royal is suitable in a 50lt rub, I personally wouldn't house a carpet or a rock in a RUB as they're too big. Only reason I house royals in them is purely because royals like dark crampt spaces
Edit: Yes you can use heat cable instead of heat mats :) |

Kelfezond, thanks for this. I assume kings, corns & milks are ok in RUBs? If we can get most of those out of the reptile house there will be room to house the carpets and rocks in the vivs.

| Honestly not sure I don't keep any colubrids, I would assume as long as they had a large enough RUB they would be fine, a lot of people keep bigger snakes in RUB's it's just a personal preference of mine to give bigger snakes room to climb and move around a bit more. :) |

| if your going to put colubrids in rubs(if their adult) i would have a look for the big flat ones(cant remember the size) as these have much more floor space than the 50ltr rubs |
