So in my searches for better, cheaper plastic tubs and various accoutriments i've stumbled across a very affordable setup for growing terrestrials. I'm using these for l parahybanas, n cromatus & coloratovillosus and pampho sp. "purpley star on it's carapace".
6.5"x6.5"x5"deep sterilite tob: $1.15
2" 22.5 deg bend pvc fitting: $1.69
2" pvc plumbing 'test cap" 0.49
Total setup cost (minus substrate) $3.33 plus tax
You can see the t's pretty well through the top. The hinged opening and snap closure are a little worrisome cuz they could both wear out. That's why i'd consider these good temps for growing t's. Also i secure it w/ a rubber band as an extra precaution.
The sterilite was WallyWorld and the plumbing stuff was lowes.
