Breeder rack tub sizes?

sean1976 Nov 10, 2008 01:54 AM

What size tubs do everyone use for their breeder racks?

I am having to upgrade to a new rack and would like to get one with tubs large enough for the corns at full size. I also have several other types of snakes but the Boa's are in enclosures and the gophers are still small. Thanks for any information in advance.

Sean.

I should have said I am looking at 34 x 17.5 x 5.5 tubs but was unsure if people were using smaller or larger tubs then those.

I'm using the 41Quart Sterilite's which are the dimensions you mentioned and I feel they are the perfect sized tub for my corns, milks and San Diego gophers. I have friends who have used the 24" tubs and they say they work fine but in my opinion they just seem too small for me. I built 3 racks with 10 tubs in each and I couldn't be more happy.
