New Rubbermaid Found - Your Thoughts

While cruising around the local Walmart I came across this new Rubbermaid container, or atleast new to our store, and my excitement quickly arose as I thought about my collection at home and this could possibly allow me to expand and still keep the view window I like. Anyways here's a few picture, what are y'all's thought on them?

All those inner corners are going to be a nightmare to clean, its why everyone is switching over to iris tubs.
Also, I wouldn't trust that side door with anything that can push... Even my male cold pop that easily.

It might not be bad for small geckos or something though right ?

Lots of people are switching to them for geckos, mostly crested, I plan on switching my two geckos over once I can get my hands on some.

I figured the door would not be to bad if able to find a way to lock the top of the door shut to where it was unable to fold down. All I know is I began to put one into the shopping cart and my fiancé quickly gave me a stern look and NO without me even saying what I was thinking, and quickly reminded that we just added a new snake to our collection, and told before anything else was allowed a new home, she wanted a bigger home for herself, so I guess this weekend we will be house shopping

Re: New Rubbermaid Found - Your Thoughts

I think it would be cool for medium to large snakes. Smaller ones can slip through the sides :-(

But the larger ones are too large to fit in it. They don't make very large sizes (only comes in 2). I went to my local walmart to check em out. The only things that came to my mind were cresties / gargoyles etc. Unless you put some sort of latch on it, the small snakes can squeeze through cracks in the door, and larger ones can easily pop it open.

There is a pretty sizable gap behind the bottom of the door when it's closed.
