Target has the best selection. Sterilite and Rubbermaid make tubs that are around 36"x20"x6".

JMHO, FWIW, YMMV.

Ever think of Freedom Breeders?

Click on link. Bought five levels last weekend to go on top of my five levels I had. Real nice. You can roll them around too!

Rick,

What did the freedom breeder 5 level rack run you? My main concern is the price. Also, for the money what do they include as extras?

TIA,

ToddG

Large Reptile Setup includes: 1 level 3 trays 1 heat panel 285.29 total = 1,426.45
I did not need base or wheels. They stacked on top of my other five. I did not have to pay for shipping because they were @ the show for display!
Next year I might need a full 10 high 30 cages

Personally the sizes you suggested seem too small to me. I prefer to give the animal at least some space to maneuver and explore. I think I will be purchasing a reptile tub VE 175 in the upcoming weeks. Here's what I've found:

Sterilities 70qt/116qt

Sterilities 66qt/106qt
http://www.sterilite.com/Category.html?Section=Storage&ProductCategory=37

Reptile Tubs 95qt/175qt, VE Series.

That's all that I know of... good luck.
