Yes that would be ok, I keep mine in 1800L*600W*900H maybe a touch longer would be better, but that sounds ok.


What size food do you feed an adult ?

Adults eat food such as 200g rats L (sometimes a few at a time), 3 week old Jap quails, chickens etc. Bredli are not generally fussy. The reason i say large rats rather than Jumbo which they can easily take, is because Jumbo rats contain too much fat. As a rule i never feed a python rats much larger than 200g.

How long could i keep a hatchling in a tub?

Depends on the size of the tub, how much you feed the snake to the size it will grow. Generally for at least a year in a big tub, there is no set rule. You can use your own judgement, you will know when it's too big for the tub.

How big are they fully grown?

Bredli get bigger than many think. They reach around 2.5 metres on average but can become a thick set powerhouse with age, sometimes up around the 8kg + mark. Although usually considered gentle, the odd one is snappy and can be hard to handle at that size.

Thanks in advance.

There you go mate!
