Biggest Streamline Tubs Possible - please help.

[BOAS_N_PYTHONS]

Hi there everyone:

I have a question, that could be posted in the cage portion of the forums but it’s related to boas as well and thought here is best to ask and seek your help and opinions.

I am building a few racks systems for baby boas - ball pythons - emerald tree boas / green tree pythons and up to 4 - 5 foot boas. I love the freedom feeder’s type rack cages and I want to build something the same way so to speak. My current system on caring for these guys works well but I want something even more organized and a better saved area of space. Creating these racks lets me use up to 3 - 4 feet more in height that is just wasting now. And helps me grow my zoo to another 3rd in size, lol.

Well here is the question "Rubbermaid, Tupperware or other plastic tubs". Where can I find in Canada some of the longest, largest and stream line types? What I mean is I have searched all over the place so far tubs ranging from:

IN INCHES....length x width x height

STERILITE 1960 - 39 L - 34 7/8 x 16 3/8 x 6
STERILITE 1995 - 63 L - 38 5/8 x 19 3/4 x 7
STERILITE 1886 - 27 L - 23 7/8 x 16 1/2 x 5 3/8

RUBBERMAID 2119 - 87 - 40 L - 33 1/2 x 15 3/4 x 5 7/8

GRACIOUS LIVING SCF70 - 75 L - 37 x 22 x 5

For mass size this GRACIOUS LIVING type at 75 L is one I like for boas at 5 feet but I feel the 5 inch height is a bit low. I searched Wal-Mart, Rona, Revy, Home Depot, and Zellers. But so far the best is the 63 L and 75 L.

So does anyone know another location that has this size and bigger in tubs in Canada?

Please list locations, sizes and prices if you can.

Thank you all for the help.

Ikea has a tub that is part of their clothing storage system called Komplement - about 24 X40 inches and I think about 10-12 inches deep. Very sturdy, heavy plastic (not see through) with lid sold separately. Also has a mounted support system that they are designed to slide into a closet on.

They are expensive $25 each, but would be great for some of the larger species - I am trying to figure out how to use them for a rack for adult hondos - really like the size of them.

Check Ikea.ca and search by Komplement for pics,

TONY: I have the same problem, ive been looking everywhere for a nice sized boa tub, and i am finding the same ones you mentioned. That 75L would be so awesome if it was just a little bit taller. I am currently working on a hinge system for the 75L, which involves 2 of the 75L, 1 facing down on top of the other so it will be 37x22x10 and the top 75L will act as a door. It is a little hard to explain but I will let you know how it turns out. Also, im not sure if you seen this model or if you're not interested in the colored ones: check out the sterilite 1849, it has nice size to it at 42 3/4"L x 22"W x 18"H

I've got a couple of Rubbermaid Roughneck tubs from Canadian Tire. They are 42.2x21x16.6in, 50US gallons, 189.25L. Called the Jumbo Storage Tote, I think the model is 2550.

Hope this helps!
