Anybody ever adapted a Fererro Rocher box into an enclosure?

A few rows of holes on either side for my Costa Rican sling and it's a cheap enclosure till she outgrows it, then one of my other slings can move up into it and so on and so forth...

A great idea. It's very similar to the containers I buy which are known as Cadbury boxes in the UK.
Thank you [emoji16], got the brainwave when darkden adapted one into an arboreal sling enclosure on the tube, though terrestrial is far easier.
Cadbury one? [emoji848], what are they?, I've only ever really seen a suitable one by Fererro?!.

Oooooh yeah I know now. They sell them in the shop I buy my Ts from for £3.99 and £4.99. I have the larger one ready for when my centipede grows big enough for it [emoji1303]

Yeah, petko is... Let’s just say I’ve avoided him since his jealousy streak lol
Oh :/, I shan't delve into it on a public forum but it's a shame. I've only ever watched the videos of common T tubers, all my pets are too boring and eventless to warrant vids of them. So personally I don't know the people behind the vids I watch so can't really judge anybody.

Look up The Dark Den on YouTube...he has a great DIY video on these exact containers for arboreals and of course you can use it as a terrestrial enclosure as well. I have 4 of these made both ways. I'll link the video real fast to make it easier...they are awesome for my C. versicolor sling. My A. gen also was in one for a bit. Cheap and if done correctly, they are amazing enclosures for slings. If you have the tools to modify these, I highly recommend them for sure...

Video tho is here...

Also, if you are creative, a pack of clear CD cases (you need 6) can make great enclosures as well. I have also made these as well. They have many vids on YouTube of these but here is one from the same guy...


Hope these videos help...
