    Another plastic tub question.

    What size tubs do you guys recommend using? I was looking at target and some tubs seem way to tall and the one i was looking at was 20 somthing qt but was only like 6 or 7 inches high. is that to low? If you could post some pictures of the tubs you like to use? I'm not doing a rack system so i need something with a locking lid.

    My tubs are only about 6 inches tall which is fine. Depending on the size and sex of your snake(s) your typically going to want to use 15-17qt for yearlings, 28qt for small females/adult males and 41qt for large adult females. Larger tubs, even with the locking lids you will want to get some bungee cords to make sure the can't push up and get out.
