Default Cheap glass invert housing pics

Ok i saw these little glass square containers in poundstrecthers and made them into little houses for some inverts. The smaller ones are £1 each or 3 for £2.50 and the big ones are £2 or 3 for £5. So the ones in this pic only cost £4.50 in total I know plastic tubs are cheaper but these are alot nicer imo. The lids fit on well as i think theyre supposed to be air tight. And the lids are plastic so i cut squares out of them using what my dad said was a dremmel, then glued mesh across. Wanted to share, let me know what you think.
