[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 127621, member: 27677"] Mine are uniform because I bought lots of stuff so I could sell scorpion kits, a scorpion, the enclosure and everything else you might need all in one kit. A "$2 shop" had self cleaning fish tanks for $10 ea and over time I had bought about 17 as my collection grew but when I got the idea for kits there were only another 20 to be found in the whole state so they were shipped to my local store. I was hoping I could find some cheap online but around $30 ea was the cheapest I could find them so the smaller enclosures with the white lids were the next closest thing so I ordered 5 to check them out but they hadn't arrived by the time I had the money to finish buying everything I needed so I ordered 10 more @ $11 ea. When I got them they didn't come with the lids shown in the ad and they looked like they should be $2 ea so I've just had them sitting around until I started buying slings and they're perfect for that. I thought if I can't replace the self cleaning tanks once sold why sell them and have to use less suitable enclosures myself? Even before I got my first scorpions I wasn't interested in having shelves of salad tubs etc, I enjoy the art of creating miniature worlds for my pets. So you're looking at about $500 worth of enclosures without the glass tanks and I got sick of them being stacked on the computer desk, cupboards etc so I arranged them so they surround me when I sit watching telly. I just bought a shelf unit or two on the pay days I could afford the $15 or $30 and now it's looking pretty good imo! The only thing is, I'm out of space again! [/QUOTE]
