I've noticed that a lot of people around here use rack systems to house their geckos. This is absolutely ideal for me in the future as I am planning on acquiring some more animals in a few months for 2016 breeding (Don't want to go too fast with this hobby).
What I'm confused about it that it appears that a lot of people seem to post pictures of the bins not having a top. I'm not sure if this means people just let the tops of the bins be open or not. I know leopard geckos cannot climb up the walls, but I'm worried about something else. I have three cats, two of which know how to pull things out of shelving. In my current set up I only have one gecko and the cats have no way of reaching him.
I was thinking of getting some bins like these and cutting some small holes for air ventilation.

My question is, would using a latch top clear plastic bin work? Will it trap too much humidity? Should I just look for another option since I am worried about cats?
