Tub size question

royalkreationz May 23, 2011 11:24 PM

i am going to be building a hognose rack. I am using V-35 tubs for adult females, and want to use V-18 tubs for adult males. The tubs are 18"L x 7.5W x 3.5"D. Is that big enough for breeder males, or should I use the V-35 tubs for them also?

Thanks.

The V-18 is perfect for adult males and females under 150 grams or so.

What tubs are you guys referring to as v-18 and v-35? I'm looking for a supplier of tubs that aren't always changing sizes?

We are talking about vision tubs.

I prefer restaurant bus tubs for my females but the V-35 will work also. The bus tub is just a thinker plastic and has been made the same forever. There 20" x 15" x 5".

You can find the bus tubs locally at most restaurant supply places for around $6-$10 each.
