Rubbermaid for growing BCI...

[rattekonigin]

I've got a young (Columbian) BCI...he's about 8-9 months old now, and he's about 3' long...right now he's in a rubbermaid that has about 2' x 1' of floor space...this seems to be too small for him at this point...not to mention that it's not a particularly "tall" container...so I want to switch him to something bigger, a transitional enclosure, if you will, that I can use until he's bigger at which point I will be building (or buying) him an adult enclosure...only problem is, I can't find any rubbermaids (or the like) with much more floor space than what he's already in...well, there was one but it was too shallow...so, I was wondering if anyone has any product suggestions...Basically what I want is something that's at least 2.5'x1.5'x1' and that's relatively lightweight, preferably not opaque but I could figure something out to let light in if there's nothing else...

For anything that is too large for the 11 gallon models, I then move them up to the underbed units by Gracious Living called Storage Solutions. They are approximately 40"x24" in floor space, and about 6" tall (maybe even talled, I cannot remember the measurement). They work fine unless you want to put climbing branches in, then you may have to go with either totes and put up with the opaque plastic, or upgrade to an actualy custom enclosure. There are also smaller underbed units by rubbermaid and sterilite. Hope this helped.
