    Where do you buy tubs?
    Hello!
    So my year and nine months old female ball python has been in a 20galL glass tank since I got her and keeping her humidity right has been a PAIN. I plan on hopefully getting her an AP T3 tank later this year, but for now I have been wanting to get her a tub so that it will be easier for humidity. Problem is I cannot find any tubs the right size with good, semi snakeproof lids.
    Where do you guys get yours? I don't want a rack because I only have one snake and don't need more room tempting me :P And then how do you set up your tubs?
    Thanks!!

    If you don't mind them being a bit expensive, do a search for the brand "RUB" "Really Useful Boxes." They are very sturdy with strong latches, and stack wonderfully if you want to reuse it as storage. In my area, they are sold through Office Depot/Office Max.

    Pretty much any place you find home storage. Certain tubs work better with prefab rack systems such as Animal Plastics Economy racks. They use the sizes stocked at Target. Those ones also have the latching lids; I find the ones WalMart carries don't always, and HD and Lowes tend to charge more for the same product, so I stick with Target.

    Personally I'd skip the cheap tubs and go with a single level of an ARS rack. You could buy just one level of an ARS 7010 for a hundred bucks, includes the metal rack part, tub, and heater, just need a thermostat. And you can add additional levels later if you want, plus it will hold its value!
