Yes, this sounds perfectly fine. Depending on the time of year, I can often have many more pythons in "sweater boxes" than in bonifide cages. It's just not feasible sometimes given the sheer number of offspring one sometimes has to provide a full on cage to every snake. But these storage boxes work incredibly well on many many levels. I shall list a few: The snakes often feel more secure in these often smaller, "safer" feeling boxes with less visibility. Kinda like a built in hide box effect. As randilyn pointed out, and to answer your question here, the humidity levels are easy to maintain very high. This is easy by drilling a few small holes on the upper sides of the boxes, but not so many that it allows all the humidity to escape. And an ocassional water spill on part of the newspapers or substrate will generate high humidity levels. Also as Randylin (Hades Raptor) pointed out, they are incredibly easy to keep clean and sterilyze often. And they are cheap and are easy to move around and stack or store on a shelf. They fit inside each other if you have many. And it's also very easy to install climbing sticks in taller boxes for arboreal species or even for young terrestrials like your burmese, by simply screwing through the plastic into a small log corner to corner. Hope this helps.
>>Ok. Thanks for the advice. Im gonna move him into a big tupperware container for now until i can buy a bigger tank for when hes a bit bigger. They say the rubbermaids hold a good amount of humidity. Does this seem ok? ----- It isn't "Ideas" that fail or succeed,... it is the "Sytstems" which are instilled to launch and sustain the idea that either fail or succeed.>[Me.]
