Toxic Plastic--What A Gas!

Testing on rats is still being conducted--of course these chemicals have not yet been tested on reptiles to see what effects they're having.

that argument works for pvc but if you look at the ops past post in other threads as well they are against tubs all together and the pvc toxic post is just another bash at them. now for the tubs that are used they are not made of pvc and it would appear that the op would still have a problem with using tubs even when pvc isnt used at all.
