Tub size

[Atlas511]

What size tub do you house your adult T.Radix in?

[guidofatherof5]

That all depends on the size of the radix.
I give as much room as possible unless it's a group of babies. I like to keep the babies close together.

Also make sure that if you're heating with tape or heat pad, that it's big enough to warm part of the bottom without overheating the entire tub.

I house all my snakes in glass terrariums, the biggest are 80 cm wide, 60 cm deep and 40 cm high, those are for single females or a couple during mating season.

Ive had alot of sucess with no heat so far. I would love to house them in a rack and an open to suggestions

I'm not sure what area you are from but Craigslist.com is a great place to pickup aquariums and other reptile related items. Usually at a greatly reduced price.
Many people just want to get rid of the stuff to get it out of their way.
Just an idea.

I keep mine in a rack system..... I use 28 at tubs for the adults and they do fine

THANKS GUYS! I want to centralize them in one area and a rack seem to be my best option.

To each his own, I suppose. Garter snakes as a general rule, are sun-loving, (love to bask and explore) active snakes. Seems like a shame to hide them away in a rack. I'd much prefer to have them in glass enclosures on a shelf system so you can observe them without disturbing them.
