Or as close to that as possible. Preferably thick plastic, smooth inside of the tub, straight sides, flat edges, no curvy lips, but at least 1/2" lip around the tub..

for $2 or less...


So far Ive found 18 quart tubs at walmart that kind of work... dish pans, for $1.94, but i would have to dremel some stuff down.

When I can find Iris tubs on sale, they may work, but have a very small lip so hard to hang them, and when they arent on sale its like $6 each, on sale I passed on them for $2.88 each and am kinda regretting it (oh well)

most sterilite tubs at walmart arent the right size, depth, or arent smooth on the inside. I checked target, walmart, kmart, shopko, etc...

Any other ideas?

as long as it is 8" high anything around 20-24 quarts should be perfect .

In the OP I listed kmart and target, ive also checked home depot...

Any ideas on specific types of tubs i could look for? Ive already checked every store i could of for normal tubs.

he isnt looking for anything costly... looking to keep Rats, or Snakes in the AFAIK.

you could always buy plastic mold, build a mold, and start pumping out "snake tubs" guarentee you could make money there too ;)
