"Really Useful Boxes" as tubs?

I was at Office Depot the other day and saw tons of these things in all sizes. I was very impressed with the sturdiness and tightness of the lids. There are absolutely no ridges on the insides. They stack flawlessly on top of each other. The price tag is higher than Sterilites or Rubbermaids but it sounds like it may be worth it.

I'm looking to make a new tub for my BP. Any experience with these, or possible issues as enclosures?

a couple examples of the larger ones they have -

70 liter (inside dimensions 27x21x7)

64 liter open-front (inside dimensions 24x14x11)

Thanks!

What brand are those? They look pretty nice...

Those are indeed very nice and look very sturdy and secure with the lids. One thing I do not like about the Sterilite and Rubbermaids is the flimsy loose lids. I have all of my tub lids secured with bungee straps because I fear that my snakes will push on the lids and escape.

They look like they should work great.

Here's a link to the 64 liter

It seems the brand is "Really Useful Boxes" :P Makes it a little confusing. If they have nicer fitting lids I think I'll have to check them out. I have daymares about my one colubrid girl wiggling out in the night

Edit: I don't think the linked one is the open front now that I double check. Ah well, gives an idea

Yeah, the brand is called "Really Useful Box," haha.

Thanks for the input!

Hi,

Those are what most people this side of the pond use as tubs. :)

Oh, how neat! Yeah, I was surprised that I hadn't heard of them being used at all. Looks like it could make a great setup. Thanks!

Those tubs look AWESOME!! I've been wanting to find a sturdy tub that opens from the front (best for stacking :) ) if you black out the sides, BOOM, got your self a great looking enclosure!! Definitely upgrading to those tubs.
