Yeah, those 1.2 quart containers work great for hatchling!. On most of my plastic tubs(of any size), I like to take some coarse grit sandpaper and rough up the bottom surface just a bit in a circular motion to help keep the snakes from sliding the aspen. This gives the bottoms just enough friction to help keep the aspen substrate in place from sliding around as much. I have found that it really does work much better than the very slick, glass smooth bottom, and it is still smooth enough to wipe down just as easily..
