Default Mourning Gecko Proofing my Exo-Terra Tank

The last few week I had several L. lugubris hatchlings escaping from the Exo-Terra.

How do I make it escape proof?

I had to do this 5 years ago when I got my juvenile P. klemmeri:
--wet some paper towel and shove it up into the cracks at the top and sides of the fake background if you have it in the enclosure
--get some clear packing tape and put some layers where the doors meet in the middle and where the hinged sides meet at each side. Use enough layers so there's no crack when you close the doors.

I did this for the klemmeri and it still escaped so I had to do more, but she's been fine ever since.

A fine mesh Four Paws screen top that fits flat on the top of a standard aquarium is my bet bet. No need for an Exo Terra tank.
