Default hoggie advice

nothing urgent but i was just finalising my drawn plans for my snake rack and it just occured to me that 33ltr RUB is gonna be a bit big for hoggies/sandboas... i think lol

what size do most people keep their adults in? then i can add top 2 layers to accomodate for them lol

thanks x

33L rubs will be fine for adult hoggies, all mine are in large conticos, roughly the same size.
For the smaller hoggies, go for 18l Rubs, til they get to adulthood
No idea on the sand boas though -)

males would get lost in a 33l -)
I'm sure they'll be happy in the 18's
