With nearly 20 litres of volume, it is commonly used for adult ball pythons, smaller adult snakes, and rodent breeding.

A Note on Rack Compatibility
The V-15, V-18, and V-35s all share the same Vision Versa-Rack slot and our veey own Herp House rack, so you can mix and match these three tub sizes in one rack. The V-35, however, is taller and fits only the V-35 and V-70 racks. If you are replacing tubs in an existing rack, confirm which rack model you have before ordering and please get in touch for all enquiries.
