Other racks with FB tubs?

[Royal Hijinx]

Ok, so what other companies make racks that can use the FB tubs? (In appropriate BP sizes)

I am not ready to go full FB/ARS style rack; but I am really digging the tubs, especially in grey with the water cup holder.


Oh, and I realize I can build my own, so that answer will not help so much.

FOr those interested, I spoke to AP and they can hook up whatever I (or any of you) need.

I've got a couple AP CB70 racks I'm using ARS CB70 tubs in (with the cup holders), and now I'll never use anything else for my bigger animals. The FB CB70 tubs will also fit.

Do you have any pics of the fit?

Sure thing. I assume you're specifically wanting to see how much of a gap is left at the top of the tub?

It's not as tight a fit as my reptile basics racks typically are, but not as loose as my older AP racks were. No real discernible gap, but tubs do slide easily in and out. I got the semi-clear tubs w/cupholders, and am using them in a regular full-sided AP rack.

If I can get any other pictures for you, just let me know.

Thank you for the pic!

What is the model number on the rack? How deep does the tub sit in (under the lip)?

[Shadera]

I'm using the AP CB70(10). They're listed under the Iris racks section. I'll also give a thumbs up here for their dual side radiant heating. Two 11" strips of flexwatt, one on each side, that run up the side of the rack towards the back. Creates a very nice gradient without the snake lying directly on flexwatt.


The top lip of the tub sits a little over 3/4" back from the top shelf, and 2 1/4" back from the edge on the bottom. As long as you're using tubs made for a CB70 rack, they should fit any of AP's CB70 racks.
