...but would like something clearer...try these, available at K-Mart. They're part of the Martha Stewart line but not available through the Martha Stewart website.

ps - Sparda, that's one of your Red Hogs in the pics

Those were the questions I was going to ask too. I'm rather partial to my locking lid Sterilites, but to have clear ones would be great if the lids are good and you can drill holes in them. If you can't drill into the tub itself, I wonder if drilling holes in the lid would be enough? Even if I didn't use them for housing, they look great for using for displays on public demos!

Find an old refrigerator, those bottom drawers with the locking top you slide the doors into (crispers) there ya go, that would make an awsome large incubator or housing unit, thats what I plan on doing, cover the places where your going to drill holes with duct tape so the plastic won't crack and wahhhh laaaaa.

They're not as hard as the clear "First Phillips Mfg." boxes, but they are harder than rubbermaids. They are slightly smaller than the rubbermaid 1.1 gal. shoeboxes, the lids fit real tight.

I used a soldering iron for he air holes.

I paid about $7, but with a little research there may be ways to get a deal on a case.

As long as we're on the topic of clear boxes....For people willing to spend the extra money for clear boxes, these 18x26 inch "Cambro Mfg." boxes work well for adult corns. You can find them at restaurant supply stores. The lids are sold seperately so you can use them in a lidless rack system or with lids on shelves, the lids are very secure.
