Default What does everyone do with their empty...

I was wondering what everyone does with their empty livefood tubs?
Apart from the obvious and throw them out.. I did find a company that used to buy them back for 10p each + postage but their site seem's to be down at the moment

Aaargh dont throw them! People are always wanting those tubs, Im certain someone will take them off your hands.
A lot of people use them for hatchling tubs and for transporting hatchling snakes and lizards.

Theyre also good for storing odd bits and bobs like stick insect eggs. Im sure other people have loooads more uses for them.

Some shops take the empty tubs back in return for 5p each off of the price of new (full) tubs. They can always come in handy for incubating eggs and stuff though

I keep all mine as well and now have well over 100.Not bad for someone that only keeps 2 tarantulas but they will come in handy for the corn hatchlings this season.

I use them to pack inverts in when I sell them. I also use them as various invert housing.

I'll take some off your hands for the cost of postage if your interested, I can pay via paypal. Not really worth me paying postage unless your willing to send 20 or more

Pm me
