Has Anybody used in of reptile tubs tubs?

micahdenton Dec 15, 2004 11:02 PM

I was just getting ready to move my collection to a new place and was looking at some cage ideas for yearlings and such. and just wanted to know if anybody had used the largest tubs from reptile tub they are 20x52x14 or something like that. not as big a 422 visions or boaphile plastic cages (about as long but not as deep) but at 30 bucks verse 200 be far cheaper, and you could alwas build a rack to hold them. so if you have used them let me know what you think. thanks

I purchased a few in daytona this year and really wish i had purchased more. the are fantastic, very easy to clean and like you said as far as price wise you cant beat them. i am actually wondering if i should order some more or just wait till daytona next summer to get some more. if you do decide touse them and doendup building a rack for them please share your ideas below is a picture of oneof my big girls being bred by my hypo male in one of the tubs

I would definitely try to use them. Saving money on cages means more money for snakes...right?

Reptiletubs.com is where you can get them.I believe they are model #VE-175.I just purchased some a few weeks back for my adult Honduran BCI and they are great.Marcus

I would definately invest in some, and as far as racks? go for it. Great size for male boas and for some females. Good find.

I have never used them but I just got back from Costa Rica on a herping trip with Eric Erb with ReptileTubs and he is truly a good guy. You do get to know someone pretty well spending a week in the rainforest with him and he is a good and decent fella so I am sure his product is good based on his character, although he was just a bit on the insane side and hand fed some really huge Wild Crocs. I have pictures it was amazing!!!
