The sterlite 41q are only 13.5" wide, which is way too small to comfortably house one adult Ball, forget about using it as a breeding tub. The cb70 mentions by chris is only 14" wide x 30" long, but the cb110 is a good size. However, these tubs are low quality and very thin plastic and that's why people have seen them sag and think every tub out there sags. Well, I have used the tubs from The Container Store for years and they have never sagged, infact they have the most sturdy quality out there, they are the next best thing to glass. The legs are only 1/8" long and hard as rocks and are widely placed on each corner and in the middle so that has never been a problem either. The belly of these tubs are so sturdy that even 10 lbs will not sagg them over the years, never mind the huge dog bowls full of water and my huge Gophers. It amazes me that other cheap tubs sag with only the snakes and water bowls in them...LOL. If you want the best you have to spend a little more, but your Balls will thank you when they are huge adults, specially the females. Trust me, I've done the math and measured every tub out there myself, there is a huge living space difference between a tub 13.5x29 and 17x34, and low quality that sags and an unbreakable polypropylene construction three times as thick and ten times as strong and able to withstand 110 degrees F. Remember, you have to think long term with a rack system and build for the future.
