try Michaels Craft Stores, all types of sizes from 1 inch up starting @ 49cents

Michaels Craft Stores are good they also have cases that are long and not tall as it look like you may have a nonarboreal in the above pic. You can use just about anything you want though as long you have good air flow and no holes big enough to escape through.

There are also some good Sterilite containers at Wal-Mart that I've started to work with.

They have increasing sizes and work very well, in my opinion. It keeps everything uniform as well so your collection looks better.

They're cheap, too. The smallest size is like .84, then the next size is $1, and the next is $1.50 I think. Just make sure you wash everything you buy with a mild soap and make sure it's rinsed off VERY well before you house a spider in it.

Are those opaque? I like my enclosures to be acrylic/glass clear, I'm not a fan of the "cloudyness" of most plastic containers.

I use a bunch of the item 1773 in this link. I house Nhandus, Grammys, Lasi, Ephobus up to the 3.5-4 in range. They work great!! You can see in them and stack them.

What section does everyone find these in? I've looked around two different Michael's and the only display cubes I find are the big expensive sports ones.

I found those exact cubes at the container store, but Michael's would be A LOT more convenient for me.

Look around the areas with the rubber stamps, beads, jewelery making, pens/markers, etc. They're verrry multi-purpose containers and I think they sell them under the assumption that they'll be used for storing hobby supplies.

I found and bought some at the Michaels at exit 33/Market Place Blvd on I84 in Nampa Idaho. The Michaels in Boise either had none in stock or does not cary them.
