These containers are filled with dry ice and shipped to my work (hospital ) containing tissue for transplants. There sealed in like 4 different packages, so don't jump to conclusions...

Anyways, they throw them out like everything else they don't use....

I took, and shall find purpose!

are you planning to use this to cool a lowland enclosure or for CO2 ?

Those would be good for shipping plants in hot or cold weather.

Dry Ice would freeze a plant in no time. Even in the hottest weather. I had it freeze a can of soda solid in about a half hour in my lunch bag and there was only about a half cup of it in there.

There is no dry ice left in them, he is just using the container, which we can assume is well-insulated.

I guess I missed that. Those are good boxes .
