Gotta love 'em!
Thought I'd share some of my favorite "escape proof" containers (and pictures of some snakes, too
). I've had problems with deli lids cracking and found these containers fit the bill perfectly. They are durable, "escape proof" and pretty "user error proof" in my opinion.
The first pictures are the Ziploc threaded lid containers. I use these for little hatchlings. When feeding day arrives, I just remove the water dish and substrate (2 squares folded toilet tissue) and let them have dinner "at home." The size works great for me, because they can concentrate on eating. For those who like a bit of privacy while eating, I nest it inside an 8 oz. deli. The snake modeling this container is a bit big and has moved to a larger container, but you get the idea.
The next pictures are the containers made by Lock & Lock. After the snakes chow down and grow a bit, I like to use these containers. These have lids that clip down on all four sides. I love them!
By the way, my favorite water dishes for the containers are actually glass votive candle holders for .50 each!!
Then, it's time to graduate to the 6, 15, and 31 qt Sterlite containers. My snake racks have heat tape on the back and I try to keep my room temps up. So... although there isn't a big temp gradient when using the little containers, the hatchlings do well and it works for me.
