Really Useful Boxes for Slings

This weekend I was thinking about british made containers that stack better than any others I've used. They are cube shaped rather than cylinder, not that it matters. However, it has the easiest opening, very secure lid lock design.
The mention of deli cups in the other thread reminded me of how hard it was to find when I needed them upon my egg case ready to open. I found myself buying them from the manager at Krogers. He sold me deli cups at a figure he made up and they didn't come with lids. Had to buy those separately. LOL!

For $1 each I bought these 0.14 liter very clear boxes at Office Depot one year. They're more than others but should last a lifetime. EXTREMELY easy to open and close. Much easier to stack, organize, and stable bases that don't topple easy like the round shape. There's deep recessed lip around the lids.
If I ever get into breeding again, I'll buy a bunch of these.
Here's a video. They are at the beginning on top and at 1:08.

A word of warning there is a gap between the top of the box and the lid that a small sling could squeeze through. The bigger Really Useful boxes are great for larger Ts though.

Thanks for pointing that out.
I just looked very closely and it's hard to see, but I do see what you are talking about. Perhaps a hatchling could squeeze through. The reinforcements make a hidden gap. What a bummer. I thought that these were perfect.
