I know, I know. Been meaning to get the pics up, but here are a couple for posterity. Still waiting on Wal-mart to come through on the tubs (since they ordered me the wrong ones, twice now).

Hugeness. I had to cut the pallet and offload the rack piece by piece....

I'll get better pics up when I finish remodeling the snake room....

I got mine too Kat!

Aren't they just pure badass?

Might I ask how you got Walmart to order them for you?

I've talked to IRIS and Walmart and basically am getting told it's impossible to find out when my store will have them in stock, if ever. Iris won't sell to the public....

I've given people model numbers, UPC numbers...

Any help is much appreciated.

Hey Trevor,

I went directly to the manager of housewares (who does all the ordering) and explained the situation. I gave her the barcode someone had posted here the first time, but what came in was a completely different product (some sort of pet safety gates?). So when I went back in, I went to the seasonal ordering manager, I took a pic and the dimensions from IRIS's site and he is working on getting them on the next order in time for xmas. In the meantime, I'm still searching walmarts far and wide to try and find them. If it doesn't happen by new years, I'll just break down and pay the extortion money to reptiletubs.

Thanks Kat.

These numbers MAY help you, not me, yet.

If they end up working for you somewhere, let me know and I'll try and get in on it too.

Walmart upc number from years past 6201642879

Iris model number 251019

Also, keep an eye on your local Aldi stores, they will be stocking them as well.
