We are going to be using the tubs you get crickets/locusts in I think, saves on money! (We're washing them out first of course!)

that was emily...

useing cricket / locust tubs was recomended in another thread on this forums! so thats what we will be going tith as we go through a lot of them with the beardies so have lots saved up! means we save a bit of money..
Our yellow rat snake has blued up aswell now.. expecting her to shed this weekend and then it should be 7-10 days before she lays, same for corns i believe..
We are first time breeders this year so i could be wrong about everything but this is what we are going by acording to what we have been told by various people..

You could also try tesco,they have 0.5 liter tubs
for around 50p each.Then just drill holes
in them.

I personally don't like using them.. as the holes made for ventilation for crickets tend to leave a sort of sharp surface on the inside of the box, and hatchlings rub on them..

also.. they pop the lids off quite easily too sometimes..

Thanks all.

Nerys - the first corn we brought was in a cricket tub and yes I agree they can push the lid off - ours did it in the car on the way home from the shop.

Have just ordered some of the flip top ones from cornish crispa (thanks rembrandt) they look perfect and have airholes so no messing about drilling.

Just got to work out what to use as water bowls now lol

good point about the cricket tubs, i dont think i thought that one through properly, just someone said they use them for all their hatchlings so i thought "thats a good idea, have LOADS of them lying around" lol
