IMPORTANT NEWS ABOUT STERILITE!!

Scratch that had my dimensions wrong on my tubs I suck with a tape that stinks thought I had one This really stinks for all glad I have a few extra but if they wear out get broke ect.. Screwed with the pants on!! Got my wife on Her way to my most hated of stores to buy up anything they have 1754-1756!!

They may have some that would work however after looking over their website until my eyes began to water check them out here http://www.containerstore.com/browse...7&PRODID=61479 not sure if they will or won't I think one of the men's shoe boxes are real close to the 1754 but you decide and they may have more as well but my dang eye's

1752's are 4 1/4"H x 8"W x 14-1/2"L (6qt)
1754's are 6-1/2"H x 11-3/4"W x 15"L (15qt)
1756's are 6-3/8"H x 16-1/4"W x 23-1/2"L (32qt)

And before I forget...
If you call your local Target to find out what they have available you will need the DCPI codes:

1752: 002020470
1754: 002020471
1756: 002020472

I have been in contact with Ali over at AP... primarily because I was looking at some racks.... she had advised me that Steirlite was doing away with that line.... and that unless I already had the tubs... I might want to look at either Rubbermaid or Iris. Then last monday I bought out a small time leo breeder and I got several 1851 tubs along with some homemade racks. I contacted her to see if that is what replaced the 1752's. She said no, however she said she went to walmart and picked up a few to see if they would fit. She said they DID fit in the hatchling rack.

Im not at home... or Id supply a screenshot of the email.

The 1642 and 1851 will fit the AP hatchling racks. In fact, I prefer them over the 1752.

What do you mean but "will fit." Are they as snug as the 1752's (hatchling Cornsnakes, for example, can't escape)?

OK 15qt Sterilite 1753 works fine I just took the latches off because I don't like how they look. But I put them in a AP rack and they fit the exact same as 1754!! The groves on the inside at the top are not the best either but don't think they will hurt!

Actually, they are very snug in the hatchling rack I have. The 1752, which it was designed for, does not fit as snuggly and makes me nervous about keeping hatchlings in them. There is about a 1/8 inch gap with the 1752. There is no gap with these other two.

Good to know. I have a 3 level Economy Rack that I am using with the 1756 (32 qt) tubs. I was previously thinking about selling it and now am even more convinced to do so. I am glad I picked up three new tubs for it, along with the 3 that is in it now. Should make selling it a little easier.

So they don't have a gap from the latches? Looked like they would. Are they the same width as the 1754's where you can fit two up?

That's odd. My 1752 doesn't have gaps that would prevent hatchling Cornsnakes from escaping let alone anything else?
