Free Range Crickets...

My solution?

Free Range House geckos!

I had the wife go pick a few up. They are now enjoying the critter room immensely. One is currently exploring his way across the monitor as I write.

I told my Mom about that. I would love to have a room with lizards running around.

this reminds me of the time i had about 30 woolly bear caterpillars in a terrarium in my bedroom when i was around 11 years old and accidently left the lid open to their enclosure, when i came back an hour later they were all on the ceiling and walls and who knows where else. I have common experiences with garden snails, wood lice and salamanders.

Wow I'm lucky my crickets have never escaped, save for 1 or 2 getting thrown in the trash when I try to clean their cage or leaping out of the lid when I try to pick them up for feeding time. (But 1 or 2 is not quite as scary especially when you have 4 cricket hunting cats.)
