How to Make an Ugly Metal or Plastic Tub Look Nice for Captive Animals. Most private exotic and domestic animal owners dont have the thousands or millions of dollars needed to construct a beautiful, fancy pool and waterfalls seen at major zoos.
The round or long standard metal livestock water tanks with the drain are some of the most used water containers, and are available in many different sizes. Sometimes, an old bathtub can be used for the same purpose.
The upside is that they are relatively cheap, easy to find, clean, and are durable. The downside is that they are ugly and get too hot in the summer. The animals are less likely to try to climb into them in order to avoid touching the hot metal surface.
Happy Cats and great information !!! I did something like that in my big 13 foot glass Argentine Boa enclosure and they love the shallow pool and it's filtered for warm weather use.

the diameter should be capable for an adult tiger!

WOW that is so cool. Have you ever thought of making a large cat wheel for the tiger? I think the diameter would need to be about 2 x the cat's length, so it would need to be pretty large but my cats love their wheel. Mine are only 3 feet in diameter and I need a 4 foot one for the larger ones.
