That deal seems to have ended but Asda have an offer on their 60 litre storage boxes, they're reduced to £5  Here's the link to them I picked up two today, they are very sturdy, I put a sheet of wood on the lid of one to stop it bending and used it as a seat  I thought it would be better to post here rather than making a new post, if anyone sees any good deals on anything a snail can live in, feel free to post it here Just letting you all know that Home Bargains have got huge 80lt clear plastic storage boxes in for £5.99, That was at the Long Eaton store in Nottingham, but I assume they all have some. These make great cheap snail tanks, I brought two, hoping to get a couple more when I can ^^ These ones are very nice and sturdy too, my smaller ones that I bought ages ago were a bit flimsy  Enjoy! |

Wow that is reasonable, my 85 litre from Staples cost £20 mind you it is so strong you could stand on it.

Have you got a picture? I've seen some 80 ltr storage boxes that were very deep, but the surface area was quite narrow (and long), so I went for the better proportioned 60 ltr box.

Those look good! The ones I've seen for the same price (I think it was Poundstretcher, but am not sure) were definitely narrower, the width was 300mm. Basically the width and length measurements were the same as the one I got, it was just taller.

My snails seem to love climbing so I think they're quite enjoying the tall walls, I need to get some more soil as it's only two inches thick at the moment, and although they've never fallen before, I don't want to risk them hurting themselves if they fall, and when this rain stops I'm going to find some live plants to fill up some of the open space and make use of the thick soil!
