Default poly box

Where can I get a polystyrene box from???
Ive looked on ebay but they are too big or have holes in them for chicken eggs.
Also for my cresties to lay in, shall I put the polybox IN the viv and then when they are done put it straight onto a mat for incubation or, put a different tub in there for her to lay in and put that straight into the poly box for incubation. OR do I need to get the eggs out and lay them out a set way in the incubator???

Thanks

Reptile shops get loads of them in every week with their livestock and/or frozen purchases... if you're ever in Cardiff we always have them hanging around, we throw about 2-3 out every week. Your local rep shop may well have some spare

Any fishmongers, or the wet fish counter in the supermarket will give you a poly box.

You need a different lay box for the lizard something like a sandwich tub for her to lay in with substrate at the bottom then you move the eggs being careful not to turn them in to for example a cricket tub half filled with damp vermiculite which then goes in your pollybox incubator, with your heat mat and stat all wired up
