I'm trying to build a new rack for my 1400g female (who will likely get bigger). But need advice on choosing tub sizes...
I'm located in Vancouver and not every kind of tubs are available here. I found a bunch of 41qt rubbermaid tubs (28" x 18" x 6") which I am very happy with because the height is the same as my other rubbermaid tubs (hence all the tubs will fit on every level of the rack).
Here's the catch:
I'm worrying that maybe the 28" length isn't quite enough, seeing how my BP test-fitted the tub today and about 1/4 of her body couldn't entirely stretched out. I want to use this tub as for breeding as well, so I don't know if it would become too crammed with 2 adult BPs in there.
My other option would be to use sterilite 61qt, which measures 34" x 18" x 7". But I hate the fact that these have wheels and they're slightly taller... which means I can't use my other tubs in this level of the rack for the future.
3rd option would be buying a breeding tub from a local breeder. The only thing I don't like about these is they're black. So, I can't check to see if they've locked without disturbing them. I'm pretty sure they're not the same height as my other tubs, so again... can't interchange
What do you guys think? Should I give up trying to make the rack versatile (can interchanging different size tubs)? or should I strictly build a breeder rack seperately?
