Nice tutorial, one thing though is where do you get those at? I can never find those. Mind taking a picture of the actual sticker itself?

I have a 20 gallon sterilite container I keep crickets in, I bought at a dollar store about 5 years ago at the time I think it cost about 8 bucks

Everyone, thank you for your comments.

Neal, since I have already drilled the enclosures, they no longer have a sticker on them. However, you can see most of the sticker from the first picture of the tutorial. They are 6.5 quarts and the manufacturer is Hefty. I believe they are from Home Depot.

I set up a real nice mini heated rack system for my scorpions. I used a sterilite rack with three slidding drawers, some .5" foam boards, a thermostat and a 23 foot heat cable. It can house all kids of baby scorpions and a few adult tanks as well.

This is very similar to what roach keepers have been doing for years. The only difference is the already manufactured screens. Thank you for sharing though, these do look nice.

Recluse, you’re right; it is not a novel idea. It is simply a tutorial to explain a process to those hobbyists who are looking for alternative housing methods.

Moonwebdancer, thank you.
