What is Reddit's opinion of Sterilite 18429001 Footlocker, Black w/ Titanium Handle & Galvanized Steel Latches, 1-Pack?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Yeah good point. I'd prefer a male but I'm inclined to prepare for a female in the case of mis-sizing. But since tubs are cheap I could see the value in starting smaller. I mostly just want to guess a good adult size tub even if I'm not getting one now for purposes of allocating space. I'm an apartment dweller so each herp I add usually means a little bit of redecorating. Even if the current tub is smaller, I'd like it to be in the space of the future one. I've read a bunch of sources saying size preference also varies by animal so while I'm not looking forward to it, I suspect I may end up trying a bunch. I guess then the question is what size is a good start and what's a good indicator of time to size up. I've read a few sites where people go by weight but I've been sizing my corn by length using the "L+W should = Snake L" logic (although she's in a much bigger viv at the moment because I got a lucky craigslist posting).

Sorry for all the dumb questions but in my local area we technically can't own pythons (it's technically on the books but unenforced, ironically a citywide pet survey showed ball pythons to be the most popular reptile pet despite that) so if I ask at my favorite herp shop they get kind of clammy about the topic because city officials apparently try to trick them into "encouraging illegal animals" or some bother. Hit the same wall looking into kenyan sand boas.

Edit: I was thinking about something like this https://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-18429001-Footlocker-Titanium-Handle/dp/B00ESLT6NE/ref=sr_1_3?s=storageorganization&ie=UTF8&qid=1472834024&sr=1-3&keywords=trunk If I could ventilate it with my soldering iron and figure out some way to put a nice secure lighting port in the top.

Ok, so here's what the footlockerslook like. They're under $20 at Walmart also available on Amazon.

Here's the 7 quart container. The links I have for Walmart and Amazon are both to cases of 14, which is kinda overkill. You can get them a few bucks each at Walmart and probably similar stores.

For eyepieces, I bought gray foam from a local place called, believe it or not, the Foam Store. But I found this place online that sells it at a reasonable price.

Finally, here's an example of how things fit together. The 7 quart bins fit perfectly sideways. I think I can get 4 full rows if I want. The larger one you see on its side (with the foam in it) is my Meade 5000 series set (40mm 2", 32mm 2", 26mm 1.25"/2", 14mm 1.25", and 5.5mm 1.25") along with my 2" diagonal. I don't have good lighting in my observatory, so I couldn't get much in the way of pics. I might go out this weekend and get some better ones so you can see better how I pack them into the containers.

I have four of these footlockers. One is lined with gray foam and is a case for my 8" SCT (Meade 2080 OTA). When I haul everything out to my club's dark site, typically one of the bins has my SBIG in it's small Pelican case, my DSLR which is in a 15 qt version of those bins (which doesn't fit sideways, which annoys me), another 7qt with my two meade DSI's (mostly used for guiding), and two 7 qart bins with cables and adapters, and two more half-size ones (I think they're 4 quart, one of which contains a white tshirt for flats, and the other a focal reducer, and some odds and ends. Another bin has the meade eyepieces, two other 7 quart bins with my other eyepieces, a 7 quart with my hand control, power suply and dec cable for my mount, another with a small tool kit, and one more with my red flashlight, mosquito repellant, and some other odds and ends. The fourth container is for my two 80 mm refractors, red screen for my laptop, a book of paper logs, a 50' extension cable, and some other various odds and ends. It sounds like a lot, but because I mostly keep them packed with whatever isn't set up in the observatory, it takes only a few minutes to load them into the back of my Ford Escape - the ideal vehicle for hauling this crap. ANd that's only if I"m taking everything (which I frequently don't).

I have a Pelican rolling case for my mount head. The only thing I don't have a case for that I'd like one for is the mount tripod - it won't fit in the footlockers and I haven't found anything else that works. But, since it's all now permanetly set up in the observatory, that's something of a moot point.

Amazon is selling one for $57, this is two for the price of one.
