Has anyone tried these for snake housing?

I don't recommend them for snakes...not tightly sealed enough to prevent snakes from escaping. I have heard them used for mice though they are not all that mouse proof either, as I have heard some people have had mice escape, with no apparent holes chewed through.

I considered them for my sand boas at one time, but the tub edges are too flexible I think. No way to safely heat them without risking melting the plastic either.

Go to www.containerstore.com and type in 292090 in the Item search block. These storage trays are working VERY well for me and run $20 each. They stack securely on top of each other and I have them stacked 12 high, about the same height as my 11 stacked VP CB70. That means I am housing 12 balls for less than $350. The tub size is a tab bit smaller than the CB70. Only have to supply heat. I bought 23 foot heat cable and ran it under every other level. 23 ft will do about 5 tubs the way I ran it. Drill 5 or 6 holes in the very front of the tub and the heat and humidity regulates great. They also have the same box that opens the short way(10015154), I perfer opening the long way. Click on the link to see a pic of the trays beside a VP CB70 rack.

I like the look of those, however, the height measurment of 17-5/16" x 29-1/8" x 6-1/8" h, is that both the tubs together and they are only 3" high?

Thanks

The measurements are for each tub. The tubs are slightly smaller than the CB70 tubs. The link is www.containerstore.com item # 292090. Works well for me along with heat cable.
