What are the dims on the 41 qt's? .... I don't really know them by volume, more by LxW.

I agree ... lots of smart people here ... I'm really enjoying it!

tub is 33.5x17.5x5.5 this is one of the biggest tubs i've seen racks made for except the huge freedoms. and i think animal plastics make some racks for the iris tubs that may be slightly larger.

yeah ... that's the same tubs I uses for adults ... CB-70's right? They are awesome for bp's ... I use Kev's large hide boxes in those tubs if the girls need 'em.

yeah the iris tubs are cb-70's. i've been looking at different tubs and racks alot. my room keeps shrinking every year! lol. kara emailed me on the hides they look good. are the small hides big enough for a 200-300 bp? i'm looking for a hide for the 15 qt tubs and future hatchlings in 6 qt. tubs. i might try the crumpled up newspaper, my bp's like to go under the newsaper alot.

I use the medium and large hides, haven't tried the smalls yet. I still have a ton of old school plastic flower pot bottoms that I'm not ready to part with yet for the babies ... lol .... but i'll probably have to this year ... crumpled newspaper works awesome! ... fill the whole box up with it. Always a great trick to get those hatchlings started!

Even our LTC WC animals feel comfortable enough to breed & reproduce w/o hides when we set them up in the right kind of box. Adding some crumpled newspaper helps for shy snakes in a rack system as well.

Yeah, I agree, I have been living in one of Kara & Kevins rack system for years, I breed some mighty fine babies in there..lol
No rack systems here, but that is due to the variety of herps we keep, plus I think it may take a long time to explain the benefits of systems to my hubby. Sometime maybe soon.
But I don't oppose them if set up properly
