Ran upon these today at a local dollar store and thought I'd share pics! They are really low profileand would probably work well for hatchlings and other small critters! Jeff

Hey Jeff, can you tell me what Dollar store you found them in, and how much? I get the small ones at big Lots for 2 dollars. They don't sell the larger one, but I wish they did.

I think the ones you have are even better cause they aren't as tall? That's my main complaint with the ones I have!

Ok then are the extra small ones. Those are perfect for hatchlings untill they get a new home! I have a few of those but I need more. I'll have to go check the dollar generals around here, thanks Jeff.

Yeah Jeff I have about 15 or 20 of them I got at Targets, but they are 2.50 there. I have searched online for them to order cases but haven't had any luck. Get them while you can. I love their size for hatcklings as I said and the clip lid is nice. I purchased the disposable water dishes from Superior and they fit ok. I don't dispose of them I soak them in bleach and re-use them over and over. I do make the hole a little bigger with a razor blade though. Tho hole that comes on it are too small for my taste. I don't want to risk a snake drowning cause it could find it's way out quick enough. I have heard stories of that happening. But with the extra large holes, I haven't had a single problem.
