    Re: housing new borns

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but they are disposable containers with a volume of 6 cups. 1 cup = 2-2.5dl Which would make them about 1.2 - 1.5 liters each. Or about 1.5 if the measurements are accurate.

    Re: housing new borns

    The cups you refer to are a little too small even for newborns. Your snakes are probably 6 to 7 inches long and the container only 6 inches. I personally prefer the "shoe box" size containers (12 inches long x 6 inched wide x 4 inches high). These are reasonably cheap $1 to 2 USD, with locking lids. As they grow you'll eventually need to move them to someting larger. I keep 3 or 4 per container.

    Yeh, I'd have to agree with Sid. Sounds like those cups would be ok, if you were just using them to take them to a show and sell or something, but I don't think I'd try and raise them in them. The "shoeboxes" work really well and that's also what I use.

    I house my baby garters in groups of 5-7 in those "faunariums" on my snake rack, I wish I could house them all singly it would make my life much easier as far as feeding goes
