this will work for all snakes of different sizes! all you will have to do is get a larger rub as the snake gets larger!

I started out with a 20l as above, but a 9l may be ok for a small hatchling.

There are veeery occasionally reports of snakes getting stuck in a tiny gap between the top of the tub and the lid. Although I've never had any problems like this, for the safety-conscious you can try the method below:

All snakes are different sizes, but taking a guess... what size of RUB would you recommend for a 07 corn?

Cheers for posting this. I've literally walked in the room and she was sat at the top with her head poking down the gap. I gave it a tap and she moved damn quick but think I'll look into padding it just in case.
