I love the fact that hatchlings can remain in those tubs a little longer if needed (whether they do not sell or they are hold backs) and that I can transition them straight to their adult tubs afterward (32 quarts for males and V70 for females)

Additionally you can house more hatchlings in a rack of the same heights since the V18 are lower profile.
Well, I know for a fact that I have two hatchlings coming here that will need a smaller rack (my smallest tubs are 28qt tubs). I've got a "rack" for 6 qt tubs with lids on that will work, but I'd rather replace the rack with something that looks prettier and more uniform with the black PVC racks that I already have.

I'd like to hope my babies will sell relatively quick and that I won't be holding onto them for months and months, but I want to be prepared in case I DO have them. I also want a place where I can grow out my hold backs. Out of the two clutches I'm expecting, I'm really hoping for 1 or 2 hold backs and those will need rack space too. Again, they could stay in their baby tubs that I already have planned for them, but I'd rather get them something more fitting. If a v-18 tub will do that for me, then I'll consider purchasing one of those.
