Once any of my Boas are big enough for a 106 quart rubbermaid tub how long can they live in it before I have to move them up to something bigger? here is a picture of it below but none of them are really for it yet

Also if put rats in one of these tubs will they eat through it? if they probably will eat through it ill just use it for my snakes and keep them in a tank.

Alot of people use this formula to calculate how big of an enclosure they need/use for their snakes, half of the snakes length for the cage length, one quarter the length for the width and height will depend on the species. Aboreals get between 18" and 24" and terrestrials get 12". For example I have enclosures that are 48L x 24W x 18H, so by using this formula I could house a 8' snake. As for how long they can live in there ... it is entirely up to you, I like to give my snakes some room to roam around in.
