Small containers for juvis is better. They need to feel secure until they get some size on them. if they do not feel secure they might not feed as they should. Also they need heat in the right place and if a large shoebox is used they tend to get lost and go off feed if they choose the cold side over security. Personally i would never put a juvi in a shoebox because they just don't feed and grow as quick as the ones in a smaller container.



I find the small clasp type tupperware units that Target sells (or Walmart)to be perfect for kigsnakes until they get on hoppers. Just make sure to place one end touching a heat source.



Personally i use the baby racks from reptile basics. but i do like these clasp units as well.
