More questions! Tub shape

[adizziedoll]

Okay, so I found a great drawer style container (stacakble, not all one unit...it will work quite well so i don't wanna hear it! ) that will be wonderful for my setup. They are 40qt, same height as the 41 qt sterilite, but they are completely square instead of a rectangle. If they have the same amount of floor space, does it matter of the shape? It's quite roomy... *shrug*

is this a stupid question?

For ball pythons, those drawer style plastic boxes aren't escape proof.

Drawer style containers just dont work unfortunately. Too many tiny holes for snakes to escape. I haven't had success in my experiments with them and im not sure anyone has. But not a stupid question!

they sure LOOK excape proof... maybe we are talking about different things? No disrespect



But what about the floor space.... square okay?

Drawer systems like this: http://www.containerstore.com/browse...1&PRODID=67291

Just won't work. They'll slip out over the edges, or get caught when you're opening the drawers. These can make great enclosures for ground dwelling geckos/lizards and such... but not for a BP.

As for getting a square tub... as long as there's plenty of floor space, it doesn't matter if it's square, rectangular, whatever.

Looks can be deceiving. I'm just speaking from experience ... but I guess sometimes you just have to live and learn.

No disrespect

None taken.

But, uh, yahh.. i should have know this was going to happen LOL.


What about the SHAPE of the tub? Is Square ok if it has the same amount of floor space as the rectangular one?>

[ladywhipple02]

I answered that... the shape shouldn't matter, as long as there is enough square footage.
