Anyone know where I can find a deli cup sized acrylic enclosure with air vents, and something that opens easier than a deli cup? Even a little larger enclosure is prob fine. Many thanks : )

I get mine at the local dollar type store with the screw on lids, even those reusable glad type containers work well ^^
Most places have their own brand and my grocer has some that are quite clear, 32oz size 2/$1.00.
seems since I have been keeping T's every container is looked at with the thoughts of its re-use capabilities as a sling home :p
Have a dozen nice little clear plastic deals candy cane trees came in, got them after the holidays for 10/$1.00, now I just need more slings ^.~
super easy to vent them ,drill or hot nail or soldering iron makes lovely little holes, I used a dremel to drill them initially but I need a new one 0.o

I am using 4x4" plastic container that had dried oregano or some spice which I washed out and drilled small holes on top put 2 inches if substrate and put out 3/4 inch b smithi in. Seems very suitable for a sling and a good way to reuse containers that you get from the grocery stores. It snaps shut so you don't have to worry about escapes.

Nice! How does it open?

Here's a picture. My estimates on substrate were a bit off. Can certainly find taller ones.
