Rubbermaid?

Has anyone ever kept a Savannah in a rubbermaid?! I never heard of such a thing until today I went to the pet store to get some crickets untill I get my shipment and a guy was in there and mentioned he needed good size mice for a 2 ft sav. So I over heard it and began to talk with him and I asked what he was keeping him in and he said a 95 gallon rubbermaid like storage bin for christmas trees... For one I didn't know they made such a thing and for 2 is that even a good idea? I advised he made his own cage but I could be totally in the wrong here as he said he's been keeping Savs for years like this.

I've never heard of anyone keeping Savannah's in rubbermaid's other than for transportation.

But as long as the ventalation, temperature and the size of the rubbermaid are appropriate - I don't see why it wouldn't make a suitable enclosure.

Yeah I know they are used for transportation, I plan on transporting my female Savannah I'm picking up from N. Inc. at the PA show in a rubbermaid but I don't know I guess a rubbermaid is better than a glass enclosure with a screen top.

I've used rubbermaids for small monitors. I cut out a square of the lid and glue in a piece of plexi to see the monitor on one end. The other end i install a ceramic light fixture, and use 50 watt halogen floods. For me, it works great and is easy to clean. Good temporary enclosure for sure. I see nothing wrong with it either; as long as it's setup properly of course.
