I know several of you on here keep adult corns in RUBS for what ever reason. Could you please tell me what sizes you use for what size corn?
Thanks. |

the 33L, 50L and 64L all have the same floor space, the difference being the height
we use 33Ls and 50Ls for ours |

yeah they seem to be......i do prefer the 50Ls but i don't think it makes much difference to the snakes
the plastic is translucent rather than perfectly clear but they get plenty of daylight and can see in and out |

Possible silly question here!
I've looked into possibly using RUBs in the future now my collection is growing. However the advice of an adult corn needing a 3 foot viv minimum goes against the sizes of RUBs as RUBs are smaller.
Its been confusing me for a while (doesn't take much lol)  |

| Not really. Min size is 3ftx1ft. Rubs are about 2.5ft long and like 15-18" wide so it is near enough the same amount of space. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

Aah,right I've been comparing to my 3 by 1.5 foot vivs.
So really its a case of RUBs are ok,but if you get a monster corn then you're gonna need a viv or the 145l RUB?

I don't personally like the idea of rubs for adults, but as I'm into the teens for snakes now it's an option I might have to look at. Think a lot of it depends on how big they will get as an adult. The breeder I got my 3 babies from the other day says the parents were only about 4 ft long, so they're not likely to get that big I wouldn't think. And my crawl cay shouldn't get that big either hopefully.
The internal floorspace of a 33/50/64 litre rub is only about 3'2" length plus width, which is over a foot less than my vivexotic. I think with an instore price of about £36 for a 3' viv at SPS, I'll prolly just end up filling a spare room with vivs! lol |

| It doesn't have to be a genuine RUB. There are several different tubs about which are bigger than the usual 33/50/64 ltr RUBS internal measurments. Wham crystal, Whatmore Fusion have decent sizes. |

Do find that the lids fit tight enough for the snakes that you have in them or do you use some other form of securing the lid? |

Well I've got them in a rack now so it's a tight fit getting them in and out, but before then I was using wingnuts on the four corners. The lids clip on reasonably well, but I just felt a lot more comfortable adding a bit more security. But it was a bit of a pain unscrewing 4 nuts every time I wanted to get in. Curtain hooks would have been a quicker option for that. |
