How many gallons

[Colin.Lawson]

Hi Everyone

A couple fo quickies...

I often hear people stating how big their tanks are in gallons but have no idea what sizes they are talking about.
I have a viv which is 3ft X 2ft X 4ft. How many gallons would that be???? Is there a formula to work it out?

Also what is the largest size Boa that size would be suitable for?

Thanks a lot guys

3' X 2' X 4'=24 cubic feet.
Using a conversion program it comes out to 179.5325 gallons in volume.
So I am guessing it is prolly a tad less volume than that.

As for what size boa can be housed in it, well, that depends...
Is the floor 4' X 2', or 4' X 3', or 3' X 2' ?
4 X 2 would be 8 square feet of floor space.
4 X 3 would be 12 square foot and
3 X 2 would be 6 square feet of floor space.

So we need just a tad bit more info on it..... [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img]
