Yet Another Cool Idea

[brandon1]

A while back I thought of something that I think would be a great idea for breeding superworms. Since superworms need to be where they will not be bothered to pupate and turn into beetles, I have decided to use an old Flambeau tackle box with adjustable dividers, instead of film cases to place them in. The model that I have has 6 columns and can be set up to have 36 separate chambers, it would be a little small at that size so I'm going to half it into 18 chambers. The tackle box is not air tight, but I will still be drilling a small hole above the center of each chamber.

Heres a picture of what the tackle box actually looks like that I'm talking about, except the dividers on this model are set up horizontally rather than vertically, and you could only have 24 small chambers or 12 more comfortable sized ones, compared to 36 or 18, but really any model will do-

Anyways, I thought this was a pretty neat idea and just wanted to share

That's a good idea. I use something similar - one of those thread sorters that you'd find in Michael's or Jo-Anne's Fabrics. It's the same idea - a plastic box with compartments, and I just drill some holes for ventilation, but if a person didn't have a tackle box it's a cheaper alternative for them.

Brilliant ideas here. I wonder if we have a section yet for TIPS N TRICKS that we can refer to in our forums?

That would be sweet!

Like for inventions/ideas such as these, my pvc idea to separate feeder waste from feeders, Reptoman's silkworm raising bin, and etc.

Maybe you should put that in suggestions and feedback...

thats what i use aswell i had to put a piece of paper on the top cause the dividers dont reach the lid completely the paper filled the void now it works great
