Tub Options

In years past when I was going to expand and build racks this meant that I had to hunt to find a good price on 28 or 30 quart tubs. Then I would run into the issue of having the manufacture change the design or the tub by adding handles, changing dimensions, ect. As a result many of my racks are different height's. well I found a solution to the problem.

Taking a page from the ARS book I decided on a Bus tub for my next three racks. they are black so security wont be an issue, thin so heating isn't a problem and they are never changing..

so here to being consistent from now on.

Pretty sweet, and pretty clever

Ahaaaaa, very good Ed!!

Awesome, and where does one acquire those? I love that idea, and I may use it for the future!

Now with the tub being black, wouldn't it be dark inside the tub 24/7 and throw your snakes sense of day and night out of whack?

just a thought,

I believe they spend most of their time in holes or hollowed out tree trunks, don't they?

If so, the day/night cycle is irrelevant.

I could be wrong, though.

It was a long time belief that these animals needed a light cycle, but we are starting to understand that they don't need the light as much as we thought. So I'm hoping the black tubs will actually help.

While I do not breed mine yet, so I cannot comment on that side of things, but I have had them in black tubs for over a year now and I have noticed a great improvement with my picky eater and overall temperament of the others. They used to hang out in hides all day anyways, so I assume they think they are in a big one all day now. Every time I open a tub they are looking for the sunglasses and asking to go back to bed :) My tubs are actually Halloween clearance tubs so they are slightly translucent, but the snakes are doing very well in there and it only cost me 2$ a tub :)

You can buy them either on line or at a local restaurant supply. They are called storage or bus tubs.:D
