sterilites are at alot of walmarts and targets!

Oh I never thought about OfficeMax! Thanks Vaughn! I know where one is here in Toledo so I'll have to check them out this week. I'm getting a mite tired of picking snake poop out of the crevices in our current Sterlite tubs (yes I do have a life and somehow the snake crap detail needs to be streamlined a bit LOL).

jo, like evan said too, check office max and office depot and online. if orders over 50 is free, that's not bad. i use sterilite now because that's what the racks i prefer were made for. if i were building my own or having a custom job done, i would go iris all the way. cleaning urates out of the ridges and grooves can get old real quick! i'm lucky that most of snakes are paper trained:clap:

For my 2 racks I am building, I am using sterilite 1960s for the adult rack and sterilite 1756s for the baby/subadult rack.

I definitely can't pay $20 per tub(even though I adore Iris tubs), and since a Container Store is about 100 miles in either direction of Waco, it's just not feasible. It would end up costing me more doing that or buying the from ReptileTubs(which I have in the past and it was great), than just buying the sterilites and replacing them if they have problems. I have already spent $45 on 6 1756 tubs, and already have 4 of the 1960s. I figured I'd see how long this lasted, and I will probably just buy a rack from a good dealer the next time I need more space.

Wow...your endless supply of idiotic comments never ceases to amaze me...

They're a friggin' plastic tub for cripes sake...how crappy could they be??? Oh wait...I get it now...they're crap because you don't happen to use them.

And...they aren't that difficult to clean. If you have problems cleaning a Sterilite tub, you've got serious problems...you spray them with cleaner and wipe them out...how hard could it be?

i'm currently using 2 rubbermaids and 1 sterilite

they're both good qualitied, althought rubbermaid tends to change their tubs, sterilite is more standard

I'm sorry, do you work for Sterilite? Thanks for your contribution, but if I had wanted to hear from somebody with your IQ, I'd be at my local supermarket talking to the vegetables. Now run along and play with scissors...
