    Show Containers...

    Just wanted to know what you guys use for your show containers for say large ball pythons or small boas. A container in which the customer could take when purchased. I see SuperiorShippingSupplies.com has up to a 128oz. that is 9.75diameter containers which may be sufficient for a temp container.

    Thanks,

    Most use deli cups for the size of the snake. Larger snakes are used in tubs/totes

    I've got the deli cups, just need larger containers to show/sell the larger balls or boas.

    Do you make them yourself? lol

    I'm planning to build or buy some of those next year, or the year after. It's deli cups for me, at the moment.

    These look great and would buy some if someone made them tall and open from the back with the backs and bottoms being solid blue or white. Need to find a way to get as much on the table as possible. These would sell BIG TIME!!!
