    Moving Auryn to a New Tub--Suggestions?

    Well, Auryn's just about a year old now--and I think he's a little over 25" long (he's hard to measure!). I've had him in a 27 qt Sterilite since I brought him home in February, but he's growing. I'm not sure if I should try to switch him into something bigger, or wait for awhile. Auryn and I are headed back to college in a few weeks, so I think I'd like to set him up in new diggs once I get there, if I'm going to--that way, he'll have all of his unsettling done at once (he has to go on a 3-hour car ride and probably an hour long wait on Move-In day). He's going to get a week or so without disturbance anyway after that trip, but I figure if he's already settling in, I might as well get him a new tub if it's time.

    Thoughts, folks? He's currently in a Sterilite 1956 measuring 23"L x 16 3/4"W x 5 7/8"H

    Thanks in advance

    For his size, the tub he's in currently sounds pretty good. Even an adult male doesn't need anything larger than the 32qt Sterilite tub.

    You could move him to one of those Sterilite 40qts if you want. About the same dimensions as the 27qt, but just a bit wider I think. They have locking tops too, so that helps

    And it's the 40qt that has a see-through lid, not the loooong 41qt.

    Thanks, Becky I actually have the EXACT tub you're talking about--I've been using it to store things (the stuff I use to clean Auryn's tub among other things ). I think I'll set that one up and see how it goes. The dimensions are I think two inches larger in length/width/height--seems about right to me!
