    Big Tubs - Homemade dividers anyone?

    The tubs on the rack I'm purchasing are about 32q, but the ball I'll be putting in it is still very small, only a month old. Does anyone have any ideas of something I could use as a divider to make the tub smaller instead of buying smaller tubs?

    Thanks in advance.

    Guess you could fasten a divider using a piece of wood and some screws. If it were me and it would be a long term thing, I'd cut plexiglass to fit, paint it and use a silicon sealant to keep it in place. Run flexwatt down the center to provide a hot spot to both occupants.

    Yeah, that might just work.

    Reptile basics has dividers available that I believe are made to fir the 32qt tubs: http://www.reptilebasics.com/reptile-rack-systems/
    Hope this helps, I considered getting these myself, but found a rack that holds both 32qt and 15 qt tubs, so didn't need them. Also, depending on how the rack is set up, you may be able to use qt tubs with it. Good luck.

    I talked to reptile basics because thats were I'm buying my rack. The dividers don't fit the CB70 Where'd you find a rack with multiple sized tubs?
