Help w/ ReptileTubs for BPs

triniian Dec 07, 2003 02:18 PM

Has anyone used tubs from reptiletubs.com? I am looking to make a purchase but would like some feedback, positive or negative. They seem quite ideal, but I'd like to be sure. Thanks.

I will be housing two BPs, what is the best method to maintain sufficient heat gradients for plastic containers? Thanks again.

I left positive comments regarding both Reptiletubs.com and the Iris boxes they carry over on the Caging forum. I'll provide a link for anyone else who cares to read it.

I did not realize they were for ball pythons when I posted over there, I guess I should have figured that out from your signature

At any rate, you should consider either the CB-70 or CB-110 for Ball Pythons, IMO.

The CB-70 has a floor area of about 15" x 30".

The CB-110 has a floor area of about 17" x 36".

Note these are the dimensions of the floor area, not the actual box. Many people confuse the two. Two different boxes the same size won't always have the same floor area due to how the walls slope.

Maintaining proper temps in these boxes is a function of several factors, the most obvious one being the ambient temperature in the room where the tubs will be.

Next most important is whether the tubs will be in a rack system, and the design and material used for that rack system.

Putting the boxes in a PVCX rack in an 80*F room will require different heating than putting just the boxes on a shelf in a 70*F room.

Hope this helps.
