Well, since i work there i think you should all suggest something light that i can move about nice and easy Laughing

i would go with the 50L RUB's, their around 28" long, 17" deep and 10" high, so an upgrade from the tubs/vivs their in at the moment but also a manageable enough size to optimize the number you can use.
the one problem i forsee is that they do cost £9.99 a piece - cheapest i have seen, which isn't all that cheap one way you could sort that though is that Lorne, being a business owner could apply for the trade price which would reduce costs...
Winnick racks also has some good looking RUB racks but they ain't on display atm and i personally have em for my house snakes & intend to use for my royals too.

contis. smaller royals are in faunariums, which some dont like but i have never had a problem with. and a wee royal, johira, is still in a cadburies but is ready to move up to the middle conti size. i think you should weight them down wi bricks, get some muscles on erik. Laughing

We use contico's mainly. We've sort of ditched the RUB's, not that they're not 'really useful', more that the building of a RUB rack to fit the tubs needed more effort and i've not got round to that yet Laughing

We use the vision racks (V-35 tubs, V-70 rack, and hatchling rack), and pro rack as well.

i use a mixture of 9,18 &50L RUBS

but i am in the process of building a rack that will hold 7 Komplement tubs just under a meter wide, for my big royals

The Komplement tubs are cheeper than RUBs too well pleased with them so far
