    If you cannot find sterelite or rubbermaid, try to find a light colored cement mixing tub or a clear tub that is similar. You might have to get creative. Just make sure the plastic is not harmful to the snakes

    Many breeders keep adult females in 28qt tubs, it is doable. Just make sure if you feed live that they have space enough to strike and coil.

    I have 2 2500g+ females in 28qt with no issue. I also have 2 1500g females as well. Once I have enough to build a rack I may just build a 41qt tub rack, but until then they are doing just fine. I'm even breeding in them and I'm expecting eggs in the next month.

    We have 41 qts everywhere around here, I have to go to Lowes or Home Depot to get the 28 qts.

    Glad you found them.
