    Sterilite Halloween tubs

    Last night I saw Halloween colored Sterilite tubs. Do you think there would be any benefit of a black Sterilite tub? They were the same price. They are not a solid black, but opaque with a locking lid.

    They also had bright orange, but I don't want to stare at that every day

    If you keep your snakes in a pretty well lit room that stays lit most of the time it may not hurt to switch them. If you need tubs, it wouldn't hurt to use them, maybe buy a bunch so you can rotate tubs.

    I don't think it'll necessarily help anything but it may not hurt either.

    Yeah i don't think it will help much, but it might look cool in a black rack. What sizes did you see and were they are Walmart?

    I only held the 32 QT ones, they were near the garden center at my wal-mart. When I walked by where they keep the rest of the tubs, I did see other sizes, but didn't make a mental note of which ones. I didn't see anything over the 32 QT size either.

    I actually almost bought one of those. I really wanted one for my LTC female Yellowbelly. I've had her for a few years and she eats great but hasn't bred yet for me.... thought maybe the black tub would make her feel safer.

    I just bout a 12.7qt black one from Walmart for my new Spider Ball Python it definitely doesn't let as much light in which probably helps with stress.
