    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Please help with replacement tubs for vision reptile racks.

Hi all, I have several vision reptile racks that I purchased new a few years ago and many of the tubs have become brittle and fell apart. Can anyone tell me what brand or brands of tubs that can be purchased that will fit these racks: V-18, V-35, V-28 and V-70. I have the exact sizes of the tubs but can't seem to find near sizes at any of the stores I have went to. I need quite a few tubs.
 
As far as I know at least for the v-18s you aren't going to find anything at any local stores. You need to buy them from vision of freedom breeder. I do have some grey v-18s I can sell if you are interested. PM me if so.
 
Thanks, was not really wanting to go the gray route on the tubs but may have to reconsider. I'll give that some thought. On the V-28's I have a couple of the really old rubber made clear tubs, (#0127-3 on the bottoms) maybe 20-30 years old and in perfect condition that fit the V-28 racks just perfectly however looks like rubber made don't make these any longer. I looked at Freedom Breeder site and could not find any of my sizes clear tubs. Maybe I just missed them.
 
The FB 8s are the same as the V18. I cant speak to any of the other sizes. I dont like the grey tubs either. I bought a used rack that came with half clear and half grey. I finally found someone at a local show selling some clear ones so i replaced all the greys. The problem is shipping tubs from those companies is expensive. They vend some of the shows so you can contact them and purchase to be picked up if you happen to be near one of the shows they vend. Good luck. If you change your mind I have 15 grey tubs with cup holders- size v18/fb8
 
OK, here is what I am looking for. Clear tubs. I really don't care what brand that they are as long as they fit the racks snug with out the lids on and are not toxic to the reptiles. In the picture notice the only clear tub. It is a Rubber Made and fits the V-28 rack perfectly. This Rubber Made tub was not actually sold to me as a snake tub some 20-30 years ago but it is in perfect condition and was used to house different small snakes over the years with the lid on. I just by accident recently matched it to the vision rack while trying to find replacements. Yes, an adult female Rough Scaled Sand Boa just pushed the front off of the broken tub. Several of different tub sizes have have been broken out the same way by the snakes. So, can anyone led me to finding the clear Rubber Mades or something for my empty V-28 racks and all the other sizes already mentioned? Thanks, Mike

Alright !, found something that works for the V-28. Sterilite 28 quart tubs found at wally world. I only brought two home thinking I should make sure that they fit properly and yes they did. Only, I didn't get them set up quick enough. My biggest female Smooth Scaled Sand Boa broke out of the vision tub last night. It is my fault, I knew the tub she was in was cracked but I was plumb out of any tubs to make her a new safe home and she wanted out. I will be getting a good batch #'s of the 28 quart sterilites this week, Drill a few air vent holes and get all my v-28 racks back in order. Now if I can just find replacement tubs for all the other rack sizes.
