Paper Liners for tubs...

I remember seeing a place that sold pre cut paper liners for various sizes of tubs on a herp related site but I can't locate the site again. Does anyone out there recall what company it was that sells these sheets?

They were sized for the the standard Rubbermaid and Sterilite tubs we use for our herps.

Thanks

Cut them yourself..... I dont get why you would buy them?!!
Just rip off 2 sheets at a time, stack them and cut them down to what you need with need.

You can buy the same material in rolls and pay 1/2 the price. I buy it at www.uline.com and buy the 24" rolls for my cages. If you can find a local supplier you can of course save of S&H. But, even with S&H it is still 1/2 the price of pre-cut sheets sold for reptiles in specific.

This place even ships to Canada!
Why the 24"?

I measured the bottom of my tubs and they are 20" x 14". Of course they don't sell 20" width or 14" width rolls.:main_angry:

Now I have to decide if I go with 18" wide roll and short the long side of the tub by 2" or go with the 24" wide and cut a few inches off each roll.
I think I would rather short the tub than have to cut 2" off each and every sheet.

Thanks for the lead!! :main_thumbsup:

I mainly use this substrate for my 48X24 cages and simply pull and cut 48" strips. For 12qt tubs I use paper towels and in the 28qt I use newspaper, but I am mainly keeping snakes.

depending on what type of tubs you use probably makes a lot of difference in what your needs are.

We use to use card stock but now we use legal sized copy paper because it fits perfectly into sterlite sweater boxes and 15quarts as well. You pay like 8 dollars for 300 sheets. We often get it at big lots for even less.
