Hi there. I'm having some trouble down here. In my country the eggcrates you guys use as false bottom don't exist, so.. what else can I use for that purpouse?
Thank you very much

[pablethegecko]

do you mean for crickets?

Egg crate for false bottoms sounds like the hard white 'plastic' fluorescent light diffusers.

Is this what you mean? (It's not being used for a false floor in this case, but it's the only picture I've got handy)


If that's what you're looking for, you can make something almost as good with a sheet of acrylic or the like. Just drill a lot of holes into it to allow for drainage. I've used it for dart frog tanks and it works.

Again, this is being used as a lid flor my frog rain chamber not for a false floor, but it's the same as what I have used for false floors without problems. It just takes a lot of patience to drill the holes.

Oh, the acrilic idea is fantastic, thank you very much!

Im impressed how straight you got the holes drilled in that acrylic.

I didn't drill them, otherwise I'd still be working on it 10 years later. I have a friend who did it, and even after all that drilling, we're still friends.

hahaha, friends are good people to keep around.
