Pics of qt tubs please

[Sapphire7]

Hello. I've had snakes ever since I was in my teens and I've always kept my snakes in tanks. But recently (as comming to this site) I've heard people keeping their snkes in tubs. Can I see pics of these plz and tell me why you prefer this over tanks? I hear they help keep humidity up in for your snake but do they actually look and seem better for your snake? And whats the largest tub out there you put your snakes into? Thanks for yuor time.

The biggest tub I would use for a ball python is a 41 quart tub.

BUT the biggest tub made can house most full grown boas.

I think tubs are better than tanks in alot of ways.

• Easier to clean
• Easier to keep humidity up
• Cheap
• Easier to keep temps up
• Smaller than tanks, so that means MORE SNAKES

Top pic is a 40quart Sterilite with locking lid. Bottom pic is a 41quart 1960series Sterilite tub. After going from a glass tank to tubs, it's amazing how much easier it is to keep them clean.

Also, people may think it's cruel to keep snakes in tubs like these, but actually its better for them because it gives them a sense of security.

Jamie, are those tubs on the right Iris's? I've heard the name but never seen pics of them. Must be some happy campers in there!

On the left, the 4 tubs are Iris brand sold at The Container Store (boot box). I like them because they are super easy to clean. I built a rack based on their size.

On the right is the ARS 7010 rack. ARS has the tubs custom molded for them but they are the same size as a CB70. I like them because they are super easy to clean and the molded in cupholder in the front works well for me.

Thanks everyone. I personally will keep my snakes in tanks unless they grow out of them. I don’t mind to have to spend a lot of time on my snakes. Since all my kids grew up these are my forever babies. Lol, So I’ll do what I must to help them live happily. Thanks for the feed back though

If you have the time and patience to maintain them, glass tanks are fine. There's also a guide to setting up glass tanks somewhere on this site that may have some helpful tips as well. Good luck, and we'd love to see some pics!
