Rebuilding my swamp/vivarium this month, swapping all my livestock (turtle, tentacled snake, chaka chaka cat--still alive from MFK meet 2013 and very fat!, and a big ancient ropefish) from my 220 to a custom build.

Looking for some tubs to keep them in temporarily for the week to week and a half or so between old tank going out and new one coming in. Went to the Container Store this weekend, but didn't really see anything large/heavy duty enough for the turtle.

Ideally I'm looking for two tubs. One around 3'x2' and another one maybe 2'x2'ish, both capable of holding maybe 12'' of water, obviously made of a non-toxic material so livestock can be in there for a bit. Kiddie pools and the like aren't really an option because I need to be able to keep my cats out of them, as well.

No idea where to look for this, so any suggestions would be appreciated. Ideally this is something I'd like to acquire in the next week or so.

Thanks!!!
 
Not sure if u have a "tractor supply" store near you.. they offer a variety of tubs at an affordable price. Rubbermaid brand are a bit more money but they also offer a "tuff stuff" brand thats cheap imo. 110 gal roughly 4'x30"x24" 110 gal for $60. and a few smaller ones also.

100% try tractor supply I've bought tubs from them and returned them within 30 days for a full refund after I was done
