New Hatchling boxes?

kingofspades Apr 26, 2010 06:47 PM

So I was cruising Walmart and found a new box I am going to try for hatchlings. It's a 6 qt. Sterelite, but it's flatter, wider and stackable.
It's 15" x 11/5" x 3.25" tall. More floor space, less vertical space. It also latches closed. If I like it with my captive hatched pastel baby who comes in tomorrow, I might build a prototype rack and try it.

I'll keep you updated.

Yeah. I think I am going to try to make a small rack that holds 10 of them for hatchling ball pythons.
