egg carton as a hide ?

[BSM]

I saw a little while ago on a breeders youtube page that he was using egg cartons for hides. What due you think about that as the first thing that came to mind to me was what i seen importers due with big cages with multiple animals. At the current moment i have a giant box of egg cartons that were suppose to be used for my roaches but i decided to cut back and use more meal and super worms. Since i seen that i was thinking about possibly using them in my new rake that should be done by next week. I would rather use them then just let them sit in the corner until the spring or whenever i add more feeders.

I think they might be a bit small for a large juvie/adult leo, but I use some egg carton for my juvie crested - she loves them

when you say 'egg carton' do you mean the carton for a dozen eggs or the super-sized commercial ones? Either way use the carton for a hide and if it turns out to be too small get creative and make a climbing toy out of it or chop it into pieces and make some sort of hide. You could use a sealant to stick parts together or cut slits into the carton and wedge them together. That's just what I'd do, but all my egg cartons go to my crickets.

That's pretty slick. I have been using USPS boxes and cutting the bottoms out of them.

I use egg crates for hatchling geckos. Work great as hides, the babies feel very secure under them.

I ended up using them in one of my 30qt bins for a trio of all females that are about 20 grams and its working well in there for them. It attracts the loose meal worms too :main_thumbsup:
