    I prefer the iris tubs because they are flat on the bottom (no grooves).

    Re: Tubs

    I prefer the 28qts and 41qts sterilite from target. Walmart also has them but they are of different design and not as flat.

    The 41 are the same dimensions as the 28, but they 41 are longer.

    Old pictures but hope you get the idea. Dont have any pics of just the tubs sorry.

    Re: Tubs

    Yes 41qt is what most people use for the bigger females.

    The heat tape is from RBI, it's the 11". So are the hides and the ranco lol. Even the feeding tongs!. http://www.reptilebasics.com/heating/

    Very good bussiness!

    Re: Tubs

    Great site! I think I'll be making some purchases from there!

    How long will a 28 qt last them? My snakes are between 3-5 months old...and maybe 20-24 inches long (haven't gotten a scale yet).

    Just as an aside, I use the 41 qt tubs from Target as well for my adults and sub-adults, and they work great!

    Re: Tubs

    Alot of people keep their males in 28qts their whole life and just move the females to 41qts later on. Im not sure my self since I dont have any adult BPs, but I would say 2 years or so for the females?
