Ware do you keep your crickets

[mraw]

I keep my crickets in a exo terra cricket keeper and they keep on escaping into my house. What do you guys keep your crickets in to keep them from escaping.

I have mine in a 10g tote with the lid (with 2 screen covered holes). I put empty paper towel rolls and a couple egg cartons. I use the rolls for getting them into a oatmeal container for dusting.

I kept mine in a critter keeper, too, but I had to put a bit of tape where the handles' hinges are - the littlest crickets could get out through there! Bigger crickets had no problem staying in, although they'd get out of my dragon's tank sometimes. =\

Mine arrive in a mailer tube, I then tip them out into a 30L tub, and separate them into 70 -80 cricket batches and they go into old Piscus/ BioLabs cricket tubs with some fresh carrot, some adult beardie pellets in each) and I keep these 9 - 12 tubs in a cardboard box , layers of 4 separate by egg holders (for good air flow).

Works for me.

I always manage to loose a few on the transfer ,and when getting the meals ready. No problem, we have a friendly wild water skink who visits inside and I suspect she catches most the rogues and eats them (she has really beefed up since she started visiting us).

How many small crickets could I put in a 20 gallon 16.880H x 18.630W x 22.130L sterlite container?

I kept 1,000 at a time in a 20g glass tank w/mesh top.
