Looking for a storage container

My son purchased another turtle which arrived yesterday. So now there are 10 but plan to unload two. There are three of the same species but the container I have is to small. Trying to find a large plastic unclear container to house the them. All I could find is this and its 39" long which I have but its to short. Anyone know where I can fin one longer.

How much bigger do you need to go Mark? Walmart has a set of 4 of these (42" long) for around $70. Kind of expensive, but that's for 4 totes and 4 lids.

Biggest I could find though.

I was looking for 48" at least. Now I have the 39" and its to small for the three of them.
Guess I will keep on looking.

Rubbermaid Stock tank…..they go from 50 up to 300 gallons. The totes you are looking at are not made to hold water. The sides will bow out and eventually fail. Stock tanks are made to hold water, having thicker sidewalls and rigid top bracing. You'l find them at farm supply places.

Paul,
It doesn't need to hold water as they are land turtles. I use a plastic paint roller pan for the water. It has a nice access ramp and the turtles fit in nicely, one at a time of course. But thanks for the idea.
