Hardest part was figuring out which lid to use, lol I like them both.
I will update thread later, Silicon is still drying and needs to cure before moving in the new inhabitants.

I get my large ones from this collectibles show they have every weekend. They're 3.50, comes with a mirror on the back. Makes the enclosure look twice as big :)
 
I use the smaller ones to catch my vampire crabs they can't see the clear plastic so they run into it away from my hand coming the other way.

Larry do they have larger sizes at decent prices? I'd like some 6" x 6" x 12" and 10" x 10" x 15" or so that aren't $30 each.
 
they are on their side while the Silicone drys, and the hills are just little goops of silicone covered in eco-earth to add depth and textures. The cap will be for a water source, yes I know below 2" they just need to be misted, but I like having an available water source for them :D

Phase 2:
removed excess Eco-earth
Added: Hydroponic - Expanded Clay Balls to keep humidity levels up

Those would make awesome humidity domes for square pots :D

No, they don't have anything bigger. These cases were made for displaying dolls and beanie babies.
