Rubber bin for an adult ball?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but frankly, I'm lazy and I've found the search feature on this site leaves something to be desired.. so I'll just ask it. :)

Are there rubbermaid/sterilite/etc bins you can buy that are a size that is adaquate for a good size adult ball? I'm thinking something the size of a 30 gallon or equivalent.. maybe larger. I'm planning on building a rack for myself sometime soon..

Search came up with the sticky at the top of the forum. Its not bad, you just gotta know what to search for.

Yeah well.. a 90qt isn't big enough.. I was just wondering if there was something bigger that's easily found and relatively cheap.

Where can the 90 qt sterilites be purchased? I searched for them but came up dry.

That's a good question.. I actually haven't seen one anywhere. I saw 106 qt somewhere, but there was more height, not so much floorspace.

I saw ornament boxes at the dollar store and they were about 4 feet long and probably about a foot high. I would try there. Even if they don't have great lids, you're building a rack for them right? So no worries there. If you have a Big Lots, try there first, if not, other dollar stores might carry them. They always have really good-sized ones, as does Target.

I was actually referring to the link on the second page about Reptile Tubs. I'm sorry, i should have said that the first time ( i was way tired at the time of my post ;) ). There's also a link in our Web Links section to their home page. From what i keep hearing they are great little ( well big ) tubs. I think a couple of members here have one or two, maybe they can provide some first hand experience. As for actual Rubbermaids, i'm not sure they make one with enough surface area for an adult bp, but those 90 qt and 106 qt ones are perfect for a juvie to young adult.

Try a hardware store like a Lowe's or a Home Depot. I picked up Butters's huge rubbermaid home there.

This is the link Carson is referring to: http://www.reptiletubs.com/

Smulkin has his Afrock in one of the largest tubs, and it seems to be doing great.

Thanks Smynx. Obviously i wasnt too with it early this morning either ;):D

Sams Club sells a 110qt Steralite that i've used before, its actually what we currently house our BCI in
but i'm not sure the model number
and the price was only like 110qt
but there is a little bit more height than i liked, the floorspace is still larger than a 20gal long, but not huge or anything

Thanks for the replies guys.

Ok.. I've been to home depot, menards, target, wal mart, dollar stores, big lots.. etc etc, but found nothing that'd be big enough.

I've been to reptiletubs.com before. I'd be concerned about the shipping rates for such bulky items. Also, they all (at least the larger sizes) seem to have lids, so would these tubs be good candidates for a rack? If not, are they stackable? Still.. how would you rig heat tape up if they aren't on a rack.. I don't want (can't have) a separate heating pad for each animal when I get more snakes (not enough electrical outlets), so I really need to set up a rack, not to mention how much room it'd save.

Anyone know about the reptile tubs? Any other ideas?

I remember emailing Reptile Tubs and to ship the biggest tub w/lid and other enclosures/hides inside the big tub would be $25+the cost of the tub/hides/other tubs,etc. I would email them just to find out.

casey from www.nsreptiles.com sells a 41 qt. rack. it is a 3 hole shipped for 225.oo i think. this is one of the biggest tubs i've seen in a plastic rack for this price.

the shipping was $25? That's not too bad.. I wonder what it'd be for multiple large bins.

Those 41 qt bins are Sterilite.. those dimensions actually seem adaquate. I guess since they're more floorspace than height..
