Walmart Cheeseballs container!!

[Sparklebaby69]

I just bought 3 of these and told my teen son to hurry up and eat them all because I have 7 new tarantulas coming Saturday and need more enclosures!
$6 each for habitats for new T's with bonus all you can eat cheeseballs!

A win win win situation, I would say.

I wonder how many cheese balls your son can fit in his mouth at one time?

Those containers are great for all different stuff, but you’ve really got to clean them out good. Those cheese balls leave a greasy, oily residue. My friend and I used them to store loose Lego for her kids and they all ended up with a greasy coating that needed a good soak to remove. Once we figured that out, the containers worked great!

I've said it elsewhere: I wish cheeseballs were a thing over here, just so I could get the jars!

I think the closest thing we have are the jars of sweets for shops that still weigh out a quarter pound of mint humbugs or jelly babies, and good luck finding one of those these days.

You can get similar ones at Smart and Final for $3 without the disgusting yellow stuff

These containers are really nice as enclosures, but I would imagine it a pain in the butt to rehouse them, as there isn't any room to move around your catch cup, and the tarantula will most likely stop moving at the top corners and not come out. Just my 2 cents

You'd be surprised how influential a zip tie could be to get a stubborn tarantula to move...

I will absolutely wash out with dawn dish liquid and warm water. I've bought and used the round ones un the past for other things but the square ones I've never seen.

These are two gallon size and the opening is big enough even for my husband to reach into them with room to spare!

Those and even blowing gently through a straw has worked for me!

LOTS. We also have chickens so when we get tired of the cheesy pools the chickens can pick up the slack! Pick of one just visiting inside, we don't have house chickens.

How big is that T in the container? I've got a 2.5-3" featherleg coming Saturday I was thinking of putting in it?

A true genius!

 

[Sparklebaby69]

Finished enclosure. Perfect for my 2.5" featherleg!

Looks great. The cap is different, at least in color.

 

[Sparklebaby69]

I painted it!

I wanted to show yall the remote control led light I added to it!

I am one of those people who do use extra lighting for my tarantulas. Others disagree. Red lights are very good too, especially to watch the tarantulas at night as they don't see that spectrum apparently and act as normal.

Hopefully others will chime in. I think your light may be a little too bright, but in general I am fine with lighting.
