    CB70 tubs are my favorite to use with Adult Ball Pythons.
    www.reptiletubs.com carries them.

    For hides, I have Creatue Cubbyhole hide boxes, large ones fit adult ball pythons well.

    We use Sterlites that are about equivalent to CB110's for the bigger BP's with large heavy rubber dog dishes for hides. The tubs are from WalMart, the hides from a farm store. The tubs are okay other than they have a split lid, handy for only working in half the tub but require extra precautions as the hinge area has a lot of give. I do love the floorspace for the bigger snakes. Here's a pic of the hides we use and one of our biggest female Brannagh at 4 feet and 2,000 grams in one of these tubs. At 2,000 grams plus the dog dish hides are getting a bit tight but up to that point they've been perfect.

    LOL just realized how old these pics are! Haven't used aspen in months now but you get the idea.

    As long as you realize that using those boxes are illegal and costing the American Taxpayer :)

    #1 - The boxes were previously used to ship something. Why throw them away?

    #2 - We pay taxes just like everyone else (which is almost stupid as technically my husband is paying his own paycheck since he's military) and based on the continuous crappy service I've gotten from the USPS, I don't mind using a few of their boxes for something useful since I get nothing else from them.

    Hehe, I just like to play devil's advocate :) I didn't think about them being used, thanks for pointing that out (oops on my part :)

    Nope, my fault, I wasn't clear. I probably sounded like I was thieving them from the post office and using them. LOL! No, I recieve a lot of shipments from my parents up north (always sending stuff for the baby) so I reuse the boxes as hides for my 2 huge males (they're too big for reptile dens and don't like kitty boxes). They seem to like them so far. :D

    I hate the post office. My parents pay for Priority Mail and it takes 6-7 days to get here. :mad:
