RaZias Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 -------- About the climbing ability on plastic: Mr CrackerPants: I belive that sanded plastic egg crates are easly climbable. The hissers don´t use a sanded surface to climb, they use a irregular (non flat) surface to climb. I have seen them climbing and in fact they "hug" 2 vertical irregular zones to climb.

sschind Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I know this is old and I don't have an alternative to egg crates but I do have a source for free ones. If you can find any local restaurant that does a booming breakfast business and you ask nicely you may be able to score a bunch for free. I had a cook from a local diner bring me some every time he came in. I traded a dozen crickets for anywhere between 10 and 20 flats twice a week. After I stacked up about 5 or 6 hundred of them I had to back off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovebugfarm Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Many people prefer cork bark cause it generally doesn't mold as easy as other wood and lasts longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
