Thanks

Xavier, the size of the cups will depend on the size of the geckos (or whatever you will be putting in them). I use the 4.5" diameter cups for small geckos and the 6.25" for geckos over 30 grams. I get mine from Superior Enterprise.

How about height? I think I bought 3'' high ones from SE before I ran out but have received geckos in 2'' ones I beleive.

I use these 8oz HEAVY DELI CONTAINER .17 each with lids (about 1/2 way down the page http://www.wesellcoffee.com/page29.html#138). My almost 7 year old can stand on one under each foot and they don't collapse like the ones from superior and the lids go on and stay on. I do have to burn holes but thats fine with me.

I don't ship many over 20 grams so that works well for my use, on the rare times I have shipped larger juvies or adults I grab a few gladware.

Which brands do you use? Does it really matter or what? Just curious.

And I know I prefer the clear ones. What about you guys?

well when I got certified with Fed Ex I had to have cups that would not collapse and the thin ones do but as far as I know most people use the ones from superior that are really thin and have had no problems with Fed ex or the cups.

I can't remember which one it is but the lids seem to fit better on one of the brands than the other from superior.
