    Who uses v-18 tubs? Pictures please!
    I'm thinking of buying a c serpents 8 tub v18 rack. Great price by the way.
    I've heard only good things about the v18 and even better things about Chris. So far, best thing about the v18 is that you can raise hatchlings in there and keep them in there longer than a normal 6qt. So who uses these tubs? And what do you have to say about them?
    Pros? Cons?

    And pictures of the tub too please with a snake in it :D
    I've never seen a v18 in person so I'm just curious as to what they look like

    I have two 16 tub V18 racks stacked from C-Serpents (all my racks are from C-Serpents.

    I have held hatchlings to 1000g bp's in a V18 without problems. The only reason I move them to a larger tub is due to feeding issues. A 1000g bp, 5" water bowl and a live rat can get exciting!!

    Here is a 750g 1.0 Banana breeder. Just unpaired him and he loves his tub!!

    Two 16 tub V18 racks stacked. I have Chris put wheels on all my racks. You can actually see two 5 tub V70's stacked to the left as well.

    Re: Who uses v-18 tubs? Pictures please!
    Sorry I don't have any or use any V-18 tubs/racks but I can say the MCB-S tubs and racks I use are very nice. They are tall enough for the more semi-arboreal hatchlings, big enough for snakes up to about 600-800g depending on species, smooth inside, and more transparent than sterilites. My rack holds 15 tubs, three wide 5 high. Nice little setup and the tubs are a great compromise between the 6qt and 28qt.

    I have the same c serpents v18 rack. I also bought some v15 tubs to exchange out as needed. V15 tubs are thinner and you can fit 3 v15's in the space it takes to fit 2 v18's. I use v15's for hatchlings up to about 250g then move them to v18's when it starts to look cramped since they're only 3.5" wide at the bottom. The V18's are a great shape. I currently only have a 375g girl in there, but she still has a ton of space left.

    I use 3" water bowls that fit both sizes so that leaves a lot more room. I've still managed perfect sheds with the smaller water source.

    I love vision tubs and that they're made specifically for reptile racks with a handle only on one side.

    And the v-15s are perfect for hatchlings!

    Yup! I love that they're the exact width to just exchange out a row of tubs without wasting space. And they're $2.89 each so it won't hurt to keep a few around.
