BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Have a stash of large and small mailer tube end caps that I've accumulated over the years from my bulk insect deliveries (crickets, superworms and mealworms) from Frog Arcade in Victoria and took one and drilled using hole cutter a large hole in one.
(I've been keeping the caps that were not drilled out to use as water dishes and salad dishes for my hatchlings and young / baby and rescued skinks , and to provide feeding stations for the wild skinks and water dishes for the "house" skinks. I'll be keeping the drilled caps from now on too).

I used h/duty cloth tape to join two end caps (including the one with the hole drilled in it) together.

Tested overnight by placing some mealworms and some very lively BSF lavae in the dish , which was placed in a tub (incase some worms managed to climb out).
None did.

Here is my handy work - whole job took me 5 minutes.





Escape proof dish with worms in it.

Good idea! Should be easy enough to smooth down any sharp edges with sandpaper or a dremel too

I'm guessing it would be quite easy to clean out the inside as well!

Made a smaller 60mm diameter escape proof dish , the 100mm dish is too big for the 10L tub my little water skink goes into in the afternoons when I'm feeding her.
