Does anyone use bus tubs?

Looking at some bus tubs online, like the kind they use in restaurants, and they look like they would work great. They are cheap, and can come in black or grey to offer the snake a lot of privacy. My only concern is that I'm not sure if the tops are completely flat, and if they would work in a rack system.

Like this.

Yea they could probably work. I don't see why they wouldn't. The ones i use at work dont have flat bottoms though.

Yeah I guess that would be a problem. I was concerned too that the tops were flat to keep a seal to prevent escapes.

I use those exact tub's and have been happier with them that with any of the sterlite tubs I've ever used. infact I just built 3 more racks to use them. the back tub works great for picky feeders helping them feel secure.

I think ARS 30 series racks/tubs are basically bus tubs.

That looks so good! Next rack I build I might use those. And since they're black I won't need to buy RBI hides for all my snakes. :D

Ad if I'm not mistaken those tubs are about the size of a 28qt correct?
