FB5 | Reptile

FB5-CV-main

The FB5 tub is the smallest tub we manufacture. This tub ensures that the hatchling feels safe and secure while establishing good eating habits. Typically used for ball python hatchlings (up to ~200g), but would be great for any small snake (or some small lizard/gecko) species hatchlings without needing to provide hides. Due to having a smaller floor space, ball pythons will outgrow this tub size relatively quickly, so (for this or similarly-sized species) it is recommended that these tubs be used for short-term housing to be upgraded relatively soon after or for breeders who can sell/rehome hatchlings relatively quickly.

More Info
  • Equivalent to V-15 tub
  • Available in Grey or Semi-clear
  • Injection molded with (3.25oz.) deli-cupholder and ventilation holes
  • Designed for use in DIY custom or PVC racks (be sure to verify dimensions)
  • Not compatible with any Freedom Breeder racks

Non-stocked variations are available via custom order (Full pallet quantities only | 1260 tubs per pallet | Please inquire


FB6 | Reptile

The FB6 is the second smallest tub we manufacture. This tub ensures the hatchling feels safe and secure while establishing good eating habits – slightly more room compared to the FB5 tub. Typically used for ball python hatchlings (up to ~250g), but would be great for any small snake (or some small lizard/gecko) species hatchlings without needing to provide hides. Due to having a smaller floor space, ball pythons will outgrow this tub size relatively quickly, so (for this or similarly-sized species) it is recommended that these tubs be used for short-term housing to be upgraded relatively soon after or for breeders who can sell/rehome hatchlings relatively quickly.

More Info
  • ~3 3/4″ longer than the FB5 tubs
