Super helpful and a great end product Saved me a lot of worrying and Savanna, my 8 month old MD, LOVES the setup, i will try and post some decent ones of her in her enclosure.

Money very well spent IMHO

What a GOOD IDEA. MIGHT BE WHAT YOUNG HERPERS NEED TO GET STARTED KEEPING THEIR FIRST REPTILE.

Hi, sorry to rain on the parade but a hatchy will escape from that tub with extreme ease. Put the lid on and have a look at the gap either side of the handle (underneath) - I know because i have one of those tub myself. I use it for temporary housing of adult jungles and sub-adult bredli and wouldn't dream of putting a hatchling of any species in it for any amount of time.

i have housed hatchie's in this still for over a year now and have never had one escapee but it is a valid point and if the person wanting one would like to change the tub style i am more than happy to i just feel there isnt enough help out there for beginner's out there to set up a good hatchie enclosure hence the reason why i have decided to do so.

Mate just throw a set of these in there 10 bucks at bunnings!
They will hold the lid on so tight nothing will be escaping!!!!
Great idea bye the way...... :mrgreen:

The tubs can be changed to whatever the person would like, that is just an example.

I have a hatchling in that exact tub and she has explored the better part of the roof and she has never escaped... It works perfectly for me

[MrBredli]

Simple fact is there is a large gap which would allow escape for a snake that is small enough. Rule number one when selecting/constructing a cage is make sure it is escape proof. That tub is not escape proof so why would you take the risk? You'll be kicking yourself the day your hatchling escapes.

I had an escape from a similar style tub. I fould the problem was the lids have ribs running across the sealing grove which leave a large enough gap for a hatchy to do the Harold Holt. Problem solved by running a length of self adhesive foam, available from Bunnings for a couple of bucks a metre, around the lip of the tub.

that's fine if everyone want's to claim hatchie's will excape from this excact tub but you have oviously not shut the lid properly i have had hatchie's in them for over a year and have never had an escapee before NRE-808 has his hatchie in one and his hasnt escaped and it has been over the tub looking for a way out and hasnt been able to yet, so imsted of making out as if the tub's i have are no good on a public forum why cant people pm me and a make a selection because thank's to all who have commented no one will be interested in them and i may as well forget the idea of trying to help people..

Thank's to all who have wrecked the idea of helping people especially mrbredli

[MrBredli]

What are you whinging about, I thought you said you were going to use a different tub - problem solved? :roll:

[scotchbo]

because there is no need to use a different tub i examined one of mine and it's impossible to get out i have the three different sizes at home and not one of them has a gap large enough to escape out of.
