3 Tub Display Rack

[knox]

It is almost complete. Three 110 qt Sterilite tubs.

I still need to touch up the paint and sand some relief for the flexwatt because the tolerance is tight (on purpose, of course).

I chose to use lids because it gives the flimsy sides stability and I can keep any baby snake in without fear of escape. And taking the tubs out is no big deal when there are only 3.

I am looking forward to being able to see more of my snakes...

It looks good, but just a heads up those are the same size I originally used for mine...

I switched to the 34 qt tubs because the ball pythons I put in all of the tubs stopped eating because it was too big for them. That might be okay for a full grown bp, but not juvis.. Looks good though!

Thanks for the input. No BP's in my collection yet, only colubrids. I will keep that in mind if I head down that road.

Looks like a fairly easy conversion for you

[Skittles1101]

Heeeey I didn't notice that, still looks good though! I like, sorry I probably should have read what snakes you own. Bps are just picky lol.

[knox]

No worries! This IS a BP forum, so of course you would assume I had them.

I like the metal and plastic shelves, I just couldn't find any that I could slide the tubs in and out with the wide side facing front. I used 3/4" plywood, and hopefully won't have any sag issues down the road.

I think it will be fine, though.

Finished it... My Milk and Corn actually utilize the height, stretching up to the lid looking for a way out. I am happy with it, and am looking for a third snake to complete it

i have my milks in 41 qt tubs. they seem fine but should i provide more height?

[knox]

By no means is it necessary. The 41 qt are perfectly fine.

Though they do use it, I went with the higher tubs more for me than them. I wanted to be able to see them more, that's all.

[cecilbturtle]

hmm...do they tend to be more active in a taller enclosure? i have a pair of ghost hondos. my little girl is fairly calm to handle...for a milk anyway but my male just freaks out and milks me almost every time i handle him. would putting him in a taller tub make that worse because he might feel less secure? i was going to put him back into a smaller tub to see if he will relax.
