Careful, it looks as if only the smallest has a clip lid. Plus the postage is £8.You can get suitable boxes from your local PoundLand/ Pound Stretcher/ More Stores. 
A hatchie doesn't need a huge box but it still needs to be big enough for hides and water dish. Someone who already has a small RUB set up will suggest actual sizes used. I've never had a hatchie and all mine are in vivs.  |

| I really wouldnt use anything but the really usefull box brand i know they are pricier but are worth it for the piece of mind also looking at that rub ive had the same type for one of my royals getting the temps right were a nightmare because the bottom of the rub isnt actually flat theres a few mm gap which means the heat mats not in contact with the rub so be sure anything u do buy has a completely flat bottom |

Also if you get a really useful box make sure its not too big and they can escape through the lip of the lid, i had one do this  but yes as others have said not too big, flat bottom and a clip lid |

| As a general rule, I have been told that the length of your snake should easily fit as an L shape along the length and width of its enclosure. I have two 4month old babies, both around 2ft and they have 1.5ft x 1ft RUBs (really useful boxes) which gives them abit of growing room at the moment, and easily fits in two hides and a water bowl. I agree that the Really Useful Boxes are the best brand, I have also bought others and found that the bottoms aren't entirely flat, so the heat mat doesn't touch it properly. The RUBs have flat bottoms, clip lids and are made out of really sturdy plastic so that when you drill the air holes in, it doesn't crack. I would absolutely recommend them! |

| Oh and my RUBs are about 20cm deep :) but I don't think depth/height matters too much, as long as you can fit your decor in! |

Lol nevermind well to be honest all kine get fed in an 11 litre rub with no problems however the hatchlings get fed in their rubs untill they are established feeders then i start feeding them in the bigger rub like the others |

| If it is just for feeding then a 2 litre ice cream tub will do fine. |

Just be careful. A hatchie could easily squeeze through the gap in the lx 24 where
the glass overlaps, so best block it with a plastic paper binder or folded piece of card. |
