The sterilites that are roughly 35" x 16" x 5" are plenty big for most gophers and smaller bulls. Larger strains of bulls and many heavier bodied pines. Need at least the 66 qt tubs, which are I believe about "40 x 20" x 6". We also use the black concrete mixing tubs for larger specimens. They're available at Home Depot, etc, and provide more room, although they are quite a bit pricier. We put a plexi panel in the front of ours to let some light in and provide some visibility.

Not a great look at one, but this is one of the black tubs. You can see the plexi part we put in on the very left of the pic. The Bull in it is 5.5-6', to put the size in perspective.

the tub is pulled out between 1/2 and 2/3 of the way in the pic.

Thanks. I was hoping I would be able to make a rack to free up some space.

It's of unknown locale, although it resembles some of the dark eastern Illinois bulls.

Hello Shaun,
Thanks for the pic and details on your larger pit housing, good idea on the plexiglass fronts.
