"I always have snakes on the brain...LOL...so any damn time I go to Walmart, Target, Home Depot etc. I check out these sort of bins."
>>>>>>>>> I like your thinking! I'm just starting to look at these types of containters for snakes....
"A lot of these bins and drawer sets seem to be made of soft plastic, so please be careful. I don't doubt for a second a hognose could work his way out of the gap at the top (not sure on the exact model you've displayed here). These snakes can work their noses into anything, and they're not afraid to climb. (I always offer substrate but you will always have at least one curious hog checking the surface."
>>>>>>>>> Yes I agree completly...there are some that have a bit of an opening...around 1 to 2 cm.....that is too much I think...I would feel better with a tighter fit. The 3 bin image shown is here: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-3-Drawer-Wide-Cart-Black/16415880?findingMethod=Recommendation:wm:RecentlyViewedItems I just see these and it just starts me to thinking though...most that I've seen so far in person aren't tight enough to be useful. But I keep looking 
The smaller one, the 2 and half quart one ....I like a lot.....but again I would like to see it in person. Your opinion on the small one? You think it would work? At least for a while while they were small babies maybe....
I've been looking at the Flex Watt tape type of stuff.....I could see a home made shelf with a nice strip and laying the containers on it to control temps....I'm talking small, not like for a breeding program....just a home DIY type of set up. What are your thoughts on the plastic? Some I've actually held, seems to be very thin....with the controlled heat of the strip being kept below 90F or 32C.....have you ever heard of any problems? This tape stuff is all new to me....have no experience what so ever...reading other ppl's threads about it....but it seems it's mostly used for big breeding programs....
