Great Sterilite Cage Idea for Juvies/Hatchlings!

[Pisces8326]

Okay guys, I just found/created the perfect cage setup for juvies and hatchlings. They were only $3.50 each at Wal*Mart. Sterilite Show-Offs.
If you can't find them at your local Wal*Mart they can be purchased online here:

They measure 14 1/4"L x 9 1/2"W x 12 1/4"H which is perfecto.

Here's some pictures of my setup. The dimensions are ideal and they keep the humidity perfect, and best of all they're light and super easy to clean/transport.

I just cut the top out with a box cutter and hot glued the top with a craft canvas screen which I also purchased at walmart in the craft section for really cheap, like 1 dollar for a pack of 10 , which I only needed one sheet.

pretty good idea the only issue I can find is the cage may not dry up quick enough and my stay dump to much.

Thanks!!!

I wouldn't use the craft canvas myself, 'cause I stack my tanks, but I use a drill to put holes all along the top-just below where the lid ends.

The humidity has been perfect so far, I spray only once at bedtime and it dries in the afternoon, we'll see. If not I could always drill holes at the top. Problem solved.

I haven't gotten that many geckos yet enough to start a'stackin' BUT, when I do , I'll be drillin those holes.

I'll be hitting Wally World this coming week to pick some of those up!!

I have a show on Sept. 20th, and they will be PERFECT for showing some of my breeders!!

Thanks again!!

Hey that's even better because if you don't cut a hole out of the top there's a nifty handle to transport the containers!!! How sweet is that??!!

I use sterilites for all but my hatcthlings.  I stack, so I use a drill, but my crickets (and soon, my roaches will get a screen, too) have a screen top on theirs.  Suction cups from the dollar store work great for hanging vines and plants.

Nice clean look you've got there! I like...
