    Steralite tub tower question

    so has anyone seen the tubs, the have like 3 stacked on each other, could that be used as a small rack, since they slide out i could put the UTH on back, instead of bottem, just wondering cause the walmart im close to is having sale. my plan is to get the 3 tower ones, and use 3 UTH for back heat, and hook all 3 up to a thermastat, could this work

    I wouldn't waste my money...this has been discussed before. Do some digging and you'll find some threads about it...

    Those tubs all have gaps at the top and are flimsy tubs at that. a 500gram ball python will get out within a matter of one night.

    Re: Steralite tub tower question

    I tried this with a similar setup, I am just lucky I didnt kill my RTB, he found a spot that he could get to but I couldnt find.... Almost stapped his spine when opening the drawer. I'd look more into cheap shelves and some of the smaller tubs. In the other threads discussing this I also found others who have had bad luck or heard of others having bad luck with broken necks/spines. Must be VERY careful and mod a lot to be safe/escape proof.
