I've had them get in even with shoe boxes that have no holes. The lid has to be air tight, like some of the ones used for food saving, and freezing. Regular rubbermaid boxes usually still have enough gap to allow the tiny worms to crawl in. The flies lay the eggs in the space between the lid. It's the smell of rotten eggs that draws them in. Good eggs won't attract them. At least that is what I'm finding out. I have yet to see a good egg by it self get any worms on them.

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!



What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!

King Snakes! Who can make a better mouse trap?
