I've never used rubs to house adults before, but I'm thinking of getting a couple of extra kings for breeding efforts. What size rub, if any, would be appropriate for adult kingsnakes? At least what dimensions anyhow :)

That seems to be a decent size :) I'll see if I can get some, although I mentioned some large rubs to my other half and she didn't seem impressed with the idea. I'll have to sweet talk her :)

Thanks guys. I have an idea of what sort of size now. And I think I may check the links and staples to see where I can get the best deal

If you have a hobbycraft near you take a look in there. I got some 70 litre RUBS in there this week for £19.99 each (£5 off usual price). They had alot of offers on RUBS.

I actually have one 5 mins away from me but they never have decent sizes in, but saying that it wouldn't hurt to check.

This was the first time I had saw 70 litres in my local one too. Usually the biggest they had were 50 litres or 84 litres but I don't like those as they are too high. My local shop now stocks every size and colour except the 145 litre. The last time I went in before this week they had 2 whole aisles dedicated to RUBS. They've since reduced this back abit.
