Lastly, I would advise you to keep the inset that you cut out - it's handy for stopping fruit flies escaping, since they can get through even this tiny gauge of mesh.

I like that. The idea can be adapted for a smaller container if need be.

John, thats great, It would work for a lot of kept pets/insect. It would definately work for Locust breeding and i've got alot about to hatch and was wondering where I was going to put the babies as im using all my spare tanks. Thanks for that, you saved me some money.

Actually I keep feeder crickets in a small version while gutloading them and waiting to use them as food.

Brilliant! I use a similar version, however I use that plastic needle point sheeting instead of window screen. For my fruit fly cultures and critters that eat them, I use some of that see-through nylon cloth. It is actually 150 micron mesh, so it makes good brine shrimp nets too!

Got it a Wal-Mart. It was a buck a yard, so I bought the whole roll.

i was thinking pantyhose material for this purpose.

I was just wondering is it suitable for frogs and reptiles to use grout to mold the floors of enclosures? Trying to vamp up my geckos and frogs it is water tight so you can make pools as big or small as you please thanks for your input

Maybe it's just my computer, but the photos aren't working. Does anybody have some photos to post. Very interesting idea.
