How bout sharing some entry level enclosures with those of us that might want to dabble in some T's.
Ive seen the acrylic cubes... and they are nice... but for someone that may or may not stay into the invert aspect.. they are a bit pricey.
Show us the bush league style. I know Jeremy post at least one in the other thread for an Avic.
What would you use for slings up thru adult hood that could possiblly be gotten cheap at Walmart and such?

1 gallon containers from walmart work well or even bell jars for slings.

We use the 1/2 and 1 gallon rubbermaid containers from walmart. The 1/2 gallons are like $2.50 a piece. I'll see if I can find a pic of some of ours.

My son buys the cubes from craft stores like Michaels. They are cheap.

I use go old school and heat a small finish nail on the stove with a pair of pliers...or if you can find a small head for a soldering iron...with the even smaller stuff use a safety pin.

Get a propane torch or a candle will work to I guess...
Goes right through just think small and don't overdo the air holes or you lose the humidity...
