    Tub not in a rack

    Would a 41qt or 36qt tub with a UTH not in a rack work until I can get a rack?

    The UTH would be regulated.

    Re: Tub not in a rack

    Yeah, that'd work. I have a tub right now not in a rack and it works perfectly, after all, there's no real reason it wouldn't.

    I'd even be willing to put money on that a 15, 16, or 32qt tub (really any size tub that you want to use, Tommy) not in a rack would work as well!!!

    Not really my point -- just saying yes, you can use a tub without a rack, and you can use any size tub that you need to accomodate your snake(s).
