OK, so I am planning on upscaling my collection significantly as well as look to breeding at some point so thanks to good old ebay, got these in the UK.
Thay are delli/food grade tubs approx 3cm high and 5cm wide (at widest point). They have a hinged lid and cost £8.99 for 100 and that included delivery so thought I would give them a go.
Resons for choosing these over the normal spiderling tubs we usually get
1. Price (at least half of what I have seen for the normal pots)
2. Wider so better suited for keeping Ts in the tub a bit longer
3. More easily stackable
4. They are food grade plastic and so the nasties that you can get with some plastic material is all removed
5. Hinged, I prefer as less chance of losing the lids.....lol
6. Packaging possibilities, there is lots of room for tissue etc to wrap your T in if posting.
The only negatives I can see
1. Not suitable for arboreal slings
2. They are slightly opaque so you cannot see the little Ts as freely as the clearer spiderling pots.
3. Does not allow for a massive amount of substrate given the height.
All in all though, happy with these. I am not sure if the company I purchased from, which is in the UK, delivers anywhere else. But if you want to get some of these or use as a comparison here is the eBay link.
