Everyday Items.

That's how I put holes in shipping containers too.

For those of you who use contact lens solution and have ever received sample bottles here a good reason to same the bottles.
Products like Betadine and Hibiclens are hard to get out of their original bottles in the small amounts needed for treating minor infections on our snakes.
These bottles make it easy to use the products one small amount at a time.
All I had to do was pop the tops off and clean them out.

I've already suggested using cottage cheese container lids as feeding dishes. This left the container itself to be thrown away. Duh.

The 24 oz container and lids make great feeding containers. Now none of it has to be in a landfill.

Here's another idea that can serve two purposes. Cake frosting container and lid.

Keep the lid as a food dish.
Keep the container and lid as a feeding container for little scrubs. It's a nice small round container that keeps the scrub in close proximity to the food. It also keeps both item out of the landfill.

Frozen orange juice concentrate lids make great feeding dishes for baby scrubs. They don't rust and are easy to clean.

To get hanging decorations I use a type of expanding foam called 'great stuff'. After it hardens I sculpt it and glue it to the side of the tank with 100% silicone. Then I coat it with the silicone and press the coco-fiber I use for my frog into it. Then you can stick cheap plastic plants into it. So far I haven't had any issues with things falling off and the snakes love it

I wonder if Silicon would adhear that to wood as well as glass? I built a foam wall with a couple of ledges for sunning and plants (and used spray glue to cover it in coconut substraight).

The garters LOVE IT for sunning closer to the heat lamp. Just sticking shelves on (instead of a foam wall) would be so much easier! I guess if the silicon didn't work I could peel it off the wood wall without it causing any damage. I will try this!

I'm afraid it doesn't.

I'm afraid it doesn't.

Oh. Maybe I need to build another foam wall then. They do love it for sunning/heat lamp time probably because it is high up and also reflects their own heat back.
