Arboreal rack problems

[portal_reptiles]

i just got a 66qt. arboreal rack from Vision Products, it got here yesterday

....started puting it together....but the new tubs didnt fit. Sterilite changed the size of the 66qt tubs, so the racks are 3/4inch too short, i called Vision Products and they are making the new sizes for me....half of it will be heated for green trees, two tubs i will use geckos

nice rack!
sorry i couldn't resist. Anyway, dang it all when they change that stuff but could you not use a 3/4" peice of...something (like styrofoam) under each tub to make use of the one you have? (unless they took it back) or...i'm not sure but you might be able to cut a bit off the tubes...sorry I can't really see what it's made of, but it would be easy if it's pvc or similar. I don't know if any of this is helpful...but i thought I'd try.

the rack is to short, not the tubs, they are cutting longer spacers for me so it fits..

I THINK he means that the TUBS are too big for the rack-not the other way around...at least that's what I got from reading it.

But I agree-that sucks.

And I love the rack comment, too-it's nice to turn it back on the guys once in a while.

Portal:
on a side note, how do you heat the plastic tub cages?

[portal_reptiles]

they come with zoo med repti heat cable that is made for the Vision Products, they make gaps in the plastic that it sits in.

Rock on with the cool cages.  I spent a lot of time drooling over cages in Chicago, but I still haven't brought myself to spend the money yet.
