Hi, I'm thinking of getting a nice big vivarium for willameana(my normal corn snake) but she's not big enough yet and I don't want to buy two (one small and then one big) so I was just wondering if any of you use bins or tubs for a yearling? If anyone could recommend anything it would be appreciated

The rub is almost 2ft x 1ft but doesn't have much height

Sounds and looks like a lovely snake. How long is the RUB then?
tordyjo Posted - 23/03/2012 : 17:25:01
he's just short of 3ft and weighs approx 160g

Cool! How long is Harry?

at the moment harry's in a 9 litre, but i think he'll be getting an upgrade soon, not sure how big i'll go though, he's not ready for a 3ft viv, but i'm not going to waste money on anything smaller as he's quite happy in the RUBS

Oh! Sounds just perfect for them!

i have my 8 month olds in 2ft frog tanks that i stole off my brother when his gerbils died haha they love it seems perfect size for them. originally had them in a 4ft viv cohabiting and nagini seemed to escape every week so keeping them in the small ones for some time!

Good to hear the positive comments. What size in ltrs do you keep Harry in? Aww sounds like he likes the space, cobweb251

I have a 6 month corn... and i have him in a 3ft viv and he loves it goes around it like its his little kingdom, eats like a trooper and seems full of energy.... i know the general advice to keep them in small containers, but i put him in there when he was about 10 weeks old. It hasnt seemed to phase him at all.

Harry is 19 months old, he's in a RUB. I use the branded RUB's that are called Really useful boxes as i find the clips on the handles are really good for locking the lid down. I just decorate it the same as a viv, i plan to increase the size of the rub until he's big enough to go in a 3ft viv. I did try putting him in a 2ft viv a while back but he stopped feeding and wasn't happy, so am going to wait a while longer before moving him up - he seems happy in his little house, eats and poops fine

Ok, thank you for the comment

really useful boxes are used by a lot of keepers so if you Google that you can look at all of the different sizes they have and see what is best for you.
