[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 127235, member: 27677"] They are self cleaning fish tanks but turn the outside elbow upside down and you have a ready made false bottom enclosure where you can add water to the bottom layer of substrate and keep the top dry to avoid problems with fungus /mould. Great for keeping arid burrowing species. I bought them for scorpions but they seem suited to our tarantulas too, after all a lot of them come from the same habitats. I had planned to sell scorpion keeping kits so I bought 37 of them while they were $10 each at a cheap import chain store but I couldn't find them for sale for less than $30 even on eBay so I decided I'd just use them myself. The other tanks were the closest I could find, they are supposed to be siamese fighter tanks. They looked good in the ad but when I got them they didn't come with the lids pictured in the ad and were smaller than I thought. They cost $11 each but look like they should be $2 at K-mart or something so I've had 15 of those sitting around for a couple of years so I thought why not use them for slings. [/QUOTE]
