Galvanized Tub

I just had to share this with everyone. This will probably be Squirts new home once he makes his long trek from Robyn's house. We just recently got a Tractor Supply nearby and my husband, John, stopped in to get wire for our new enclosure. While he was there he called me to tell me about all the great tanks! So, he brought this one home with him and I think it will be great for inside housing in the colder weather. This should suit Squirt for a while. It is 2' w x 12" d x 6' l.

I thought that if I had shelving in my tort room, that these would also fit nicely on the shelves.

RE: Galvanized Tub

Dee, that is great. It will be close to what she is in now. Now I will have to go looking for a tractor supply place or something like it near me to see if they have something like that.

RE: Galvanized Tub

I liked this tub because the sides go straight down. With alot of the plastic tubs they slant inwards and you lose alot of space. This is nice and roomy!

RE: Galvanized Tub

I believe Robyn said she is approx. 4" or so. Please correct me if I am wrong. So, I figure this will be great for her and will give me the opportunity to put a bunch of different things in for her to adventure around in.

RE: Galvanized Tub

Hi Dee,

The tub looks great. I was thinking of making a bigger tort table. This might just save me a lot of time and money. Can you tell me who makes it and how much it was? I'm going to try to find one near me.
Thanks for posting Big Grin
