In my current exo-terra terrarium, crickets can escape behind the foam back wall. Is there anywhere for crickets to escape in this terrarium?

No its very secure. Just watch if the crickets are not near the door before you open it. They could easily hop out.

This is a screen cage not glass. I have had no problems with them getting out. But they are not in there long either eaten quickly.

Not to worry, the bats will find the bugs. Our bat house is mounted at the rear of our house, but you can place yours where you please!

I have both, I prefer Zoo Med, they just have one door and you can open it with one hand, the Exo Terras, you have to twist the little knob and then open.

The frequencies that can penetrate barriers are low frequencies like trucks, stomping, bass drum. Crickets are rather mid-high-frequency and will probably be blocked out very effectively.

There are small ventilation holes. I guess its possible. Bed bugs can get into just about anything. Ugh!

It should be suitable for any small reptile or amphibian and yes it comes with the foam background and plants but not a lot for my tastes I ended buying extra also just a heads up crickets have a tendency if crawling behind the foam through the wire inlets and getting out of the cage through any holes they can I duck taped a few holes in mine to prevent that

Yes, you can use it indoors. I use it indoors and around the perimeter of the house to keep crickets out. Pet precautions (we were worried about our dog, too): be sure the treated areas are completely dry before letting pets go in or near them.

I have 2 closed terrariums made with this assortment of live moss. It hasn't happened to me. Must have been shipped with dormant larvae that hatched. The bugs shouldn't hurt anything, I don't think.

The box was marked......live crickets. Yes....you can hear the crickets inside the ventilated box.

Hi have both the playpen and tortoise house. I love them both. I would not recommend this for a leopard gecko. The screen holes are nearly an inch wide and your fella may escape. The bottom is open and he can dig under the sides. Also in the enclosed area the base is not attached and may also be an escape spot. Now if you took the time to replace the screen with a much smaller mesh, attached a board to the bottom and secured the enclosed area it would be fine. Question is-Does all that sound worth the price difference of another cage?

the sticky substance on the "tentacles" will curl around the trapped insect. if possible the plant willattempt to extract the juices and the exoskeleton will be left. However flies, ants and other softer bodied prey is preferred. I hope this helps.

I don't know much about tarantulas other than some of them are rather large. I don't know if they need area for roaming. If they do, this tank is too small.

Although I don't know much about tarantula care or needs in terms of space, temperature and humidity, I would say yes as I'm guessing you're wondering about the security of the habitat. Both the screened top of the as well as the glass doors are both held securely in place by locking mechanisms and I don't see any way the animal could escape from it. Mine houses the tiniest little gecko and she's pretty secure in there. The glass doors do open forward and there's the most infinitely small space where the doors meet, but about the only thing that may escape on occasion is one of her fruit flies, so just be aware of where the animal is when you open them.

I don't know. Haven't had to try... But roaches usually require exterminator to find source of problem.

i use it in my storage shed which is near the woods(forest). roaches will march through. I solved the problem by using roach prufe. i sprinkle a thin line around the inside edge of the building about 3 inches wide. the roaches breath through their bottoms under the legs, so they walk through and basically sufficate themselbves. they take themselves out into the woods for a breath and die. no fuss no muss.

I have the smaller one personally (same brand), I have not had problems with crickets getting out. As far as locking it- there are latches on the door. If you want to put something like an actual lock on it (IE with a key), I am not sure that this product would be the best. The frame is plastic (on the smaller one). You might want to look into building one out of wood and wire screen in that case. Check out chameleonforums.com, many people there have built their own cages- I am sure someone could give you pointers.
