Yes, exactly. All those containers are good until the final enclosure. I only use the small dram vials for tiny slings, then the condiment cups for 1/4" until they hit an 1" then move them into something larger like a 4x4 or a tad bigger (not an exact science) when I'm making my own. I use the 6qt sterilite shoe boxes for juvies 2.5"+.

Alot of this is species dependent too. But T Albos are great eaters from what I'm seeing, so they shouldn't have an issue catching prey. If they do, just handicap the crickets and place them near the burrow
yeah that T Albo destroyed the mealworm I fed him/her. Very good eaters.
Yeah it’s rough having to start over with new enclosures. I still don’t have enough containers for 10 slings at once but I’ll get there . Most of my plastic shoeboxes are now being used for storage. I still have about 5 to 10 of them though.

Yeah, just look in your cupboards. That's part of the fun lol

Nothing there they thought if my containers were gone I was just going to wave a white flag. 🏳🍿🤣🤣..
Yes I do save good containers if I can snag them before my mom does.
She won’t buy Greek yogurt or applesauce cups. Because I save them all.

Lol Yeah ur best best is dollar store McCormicks containers. Visibility isn't great, but their practical and cheap. A big part of the hobby for me is just creating a suitable environment for a T. It doesn't need to be an expensive hobby at all. I've had people get blown away by some of the enclosures I've built and the fake plants inside of it were more expensive than the container itself

I had very clear containers in the past some better than deli cups. And others with bad visibility. But I’m not getting swamped with too many again like before. I’ll probably check Walmart. Does Marshalls still sell containers?
If I find a job, I’ll still keep collection smaller. Until I can move out.

Yeah, I currently have too many. I know the feeling. I believe they do. Not sure how cheap they are

yeah it’s not hard if you can afford them to have tons…
I do not miss 2 to 3 + hour feeding sessions…. 🤯😵💫 it was actually not that bad. Just time consuming. I never had a huge Collection 120+ like others though.
