Ok I'm not looking for criticism on this nor people telling me I should use vivs - it is not the cost of the vivs but the space I do not have.
What I am looking for is responses from people who house their snakes in set ups like the one I have detailed below:-
http://theroyalpython.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4981&whichpage=1
the post left by Anatess is what I want for my snakes.
I know this has a royal in it but I am sure it can be used for corns, tang milk snakes and dwarf boa too, what I don't know is where to buy this size rub but in rectangle shape, not square if that makes sense. I can't seem to find them in my searches so for.
So if some kind people could point me in the right direction then that would be very much appreciated.
Posting this here too as this is what I plan for my corn when she's adult size.
Thank you |

A 145 litre RUB is more square than rectangular, but equates to a similar size of a 36x15x18 viv. Works out to be about 32x24x17 which is a few inches extra floor space. But may as well just get a viv if that's the case.  Otherwise you'll probably be looking at a 50 litre which is about 28x17x9. Or the 84 litre which gives an extra 6 inches of height if you want climbing room. |

Thats just a normal 64L rub I think so as gmac said, staples, rymans etc
Also Maplin sell them, I got a few of mine from there, Argos stock a few sizes too but I now use non brand rubs. I get 64L ones for £5 each from my local shop :D

| I use tubs from ASDA for a few of mine, they are usually rectangular and much cheaper than RUB's. Often have coloured lids though. |

According to this the 145L is a lot smaller. Looking at the internal dimensions its nearer 28x21x16 inches

| can you really keep your snake in those kind of boxes ? is there really any significant difference between them and vivs besides space and price obviously, im just thinking ahead as i also suffer from lack of space |

yeah I just took externals. Mind, I just measured my LX36 and it's about 34.5x14 internal. So it still equates for floor space.
Pics of my gorgeous new BRB soon Louise. Might need a bigger RUB... lol |

I know Ailsa and I wasn't arguing. I just said that the large rub is of a similar size to the viv is all.
I think a few people keep their snakes in 50 litre rubs. Breeders mainly I think. But I don't know. But that one you linked to does look very nice indeed with the perspex front. Am considering something like that myself now if I can, so I can keep collecting! |

This is why I hate RUB and tub sides, I wish they would cut off some of the depth and put it onto the length! Would mean I could use them! |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| No I agree Ailsa. People say they they are not climbers, but everyone here knows different! Even if they don't use it, it's nice to give them the option! I don't know what to suggest then, coz RUBs just don't come in ideal sizes for our use unfortunately. If you do find something suitable though please shout, coz I and I'm sure a few others would love to find a decent, cheap and easy viv substitute! |
