I was at Home Depot trying to think up how to build a little cup to hang from the branches of Scooby's cage to feed him with when I happened to see the perfect thing! Its the drip-catching cup to a BBQ grill, and it works great. A lot of grills just come with the hook and you can insert any...

There was definitely a white fungus in the soil. I didn't think much of it at first, until all the gnats started popping up. And the soap/water (I used apple cider vinegar) doesn't work (thats for fruitflies... these gnats aren't attracted to it). The schefflera trees are planted outside now...

Just wondering if anyone has tried to unpot their pothos? Pothos are epiphytes, meaning that in nature they live in trees, not in soil. I bought one and "freed" it on Friday, but its not too happy with me right now. Its getting plenty of water (Mist King, 7 times a day @ 2 min each). I'm...

So somehow I got a fungus gnat infestation. Removed the pot from Scooby's cage, removed the plants (3 schefflera trees) from the pot, washed them and planted them outside so they can try to heal (had to cut the roots off of two of them, so its not looking good). Sucked up most of the gnats in...

The cage looks great so far. Thanks for sharing the pics of the build. Keep them coming! Its always great to see new ideasl

Velcro is a good idea! I have lots of velcro tape, might give that a try tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion!

You're exactly right, its a crease and I can't straighten it out any further without damaging the rest of the door more :mad:

Other than the gaps, I think the cage is pretty nice. I'm going to try the weatherstripping from Home Depot I think. I'll let you know what solution I find when I figure it out. In the meantime, duct tape is working great as a temporary solution to keep them from escaping for me. You might...

Definitely going to contact them. Hopefully the fact that I bought it from Amazon doesn't complicate things. The white floorboard has a big crease in it too (another spot I found crickets escaping from... thank God for duct tape!)

I'm hand feeding when I can, but leaving some extra crickets in the cage for days (like today) when I'm on the road.

Definitely going to build my own from scratch next. Thought I'd use a "standard" for my first cage to see what I was getting into. Not that its bad, but now I have much better idea on what to improve on my next one.

I'm using duct tape to cover the gaps right now. It look ghetto, but it works. My son came in my office yesterday and asked, "Daddy, can crickets get out of the cage?". I told him that they shouldn't be able to, and then asked why he wanted to know. He replied, "Because there's one on my...

Yeah, that's the weatherstripping stuff I'm thinking of. If no one else has a better idea, that's probably what I'm going to try first.

Actually the latch is closed. You can barely see it at the bottom of the picture. The gap is about the same size below as it is above. I don't think large crickets can get out, but the small and medium sized ones I'm feeding my veiled right now can.

I know there are quite a few fellow Reptibreeze cage owners out there, and I'm sure mine isn't the only cage with a few gaps in it. Since the gaps are by the doors, I can't just screw the cage shut and close the gaps that way. Not worried about Scooby getting out, but little crickets keep...

Light Your Reptiles I also want to thank Todd at Lightyourreptiles.com for the great light (arcadia 12%) and the fast shipment!

New Veiled: Scooby Hi everyone, I wanted to introduce everyone to my new veiled, Scooby. Actually, it is my son's, and he named it Scooby Doo because he was such a scaredy-cat when we got him (Saturday morning). He's already letting me hand feed him and seems to like his new home. My son...
