## Overview

The Exo Terra Cricket Pen Large is a premium insect housing solution designed for professional reptile keepers. Featuring a large 12" x 8" x 7.6" size, it includes stable square dispensing tubes with automatic flapper doors to prevent escapes, plus a complete feeding kit with food and moisture-retaining water dishes. Crafted from durable, thick plastic with a ventilated removable lid, it offers easy access and superior cricket care, making feeding neat, efficient, and escape-free.

## Description

The Exon Terra Cricket Pen is ideal for housing, keeping and dispensing live crickets. Crickets prefer dark spaces, and will readily crawl into the tubes which provide hiding places for them, making it easy to use the tubes as dispensing tools.\n\the tubes remain in position when the lid is removed, allowing easy access and less chance of cricket escape.

Review: EXO Puts Lee's (brand) "Kricket Keeper" to Shame! - I own various sizes of Lee's Kricket Keepers and they don't even come close to the quality of this Exo Terra Cricket Pen. Both have the same identical removable ventilated lids with one major exception. Lee's feeder tubes slide into the TOP sides of the LID rather then the body of the Keeper / Pen like Exo's does. A BIG minus when removing the entire top off and handling three items / parts. Exo's tubes stay put, inside, leaving any Hobo cricks remaining inside the tube(s) with no way to escape. Another BIG difference between the two styles are the "Cricket (tubes) dispensers themselves, Lee's are round while the Exo's is square, which makes the EXO'S more stable all the way around and keeps pressure on the trays at their "bottoms" from moving out of place. Here are the BIG differences though: Lee's has these "Lame" round flaps that (suppose) to cover the tube opening when pulled out and almost all of the time they (the flaps) fall off! The Exo Terra Cricket Pen has a drop down "Flapper door" built into the the inside of the pen's sides NOT IN THE LID (like Lee's) that will never fail. Simply slide the tube out of the Exo Terra Cricket Pen and the flapper drops down very fast and automatically to prevent escapes and easily reopens when the tubes are reinserted. The Exo Includes both a cricket food tray, and a water tray, both with tapered steps for even the smallest "Pinheads" to scale, the "Lee's" does not provide any Gut Loading trays. EXO also included a black sponge to retain moisture in the water tray. Each tray slides in neatly on the opposite ends of the pen held in place by the (inserted) square tubes that keep the trays from sliding around. The trays can easily be removed for refilling and cleaning. A very nice touch! At the time of this review both where eligible for "Prime" with the Exo costing ONLY 22 CENTS MORE than the Lee's, it's easily worth even a few dollars more! Also the Exo has a nice shinny Black top cover and is manufactured with a thicker, higher quality plastic, than the Lee's. I'm going to purchase the Large Exo Cricket Pen next. P.S. I removed the sponge from the water tray and fill it with Fluker's Cricket Quencher
Review: Great Product! - I have owned several of these Cricket Keepers now and I can say this one is by far the best!. The fact that you can open the lid and leave the tubes in place makes feeding and watering the crickets much easier. I also have found that the square tubes work out better as well when it comes time to dump some crickets out to feed. The little food and water dishes work out well, if I were to recommend anything I would say the water dish should be a little bit bigger.(I use water crystals in mine and it dries out pretty quick) Other then that great product, and I would buy it again!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great and cheaper than pet store.
*by A***M on December 26, 2018*

Works great and $5 cheaper than 4 pet stores within 50 mile radius to us. 4 stars because of the food and water dishes that slide around and I had to take crickets back out and tape down. Easy fix, but if they came built in it’d be perfect, tape will have to be redone as it’s washed repeatedly. This is our first reptile pet to care for so we’re still learning. If you’re feeding crickets you definitely need something to keep them in once home from the pet store. We got the small Keeper and it’s suitable for a decent number of crickets. We are Currently keeping a max of about 30 small ones in it. If I were keeping more, or needing a similar number of large crickets at one time, I’d probably get a larger Keeper size. Cricket Keeper Pros: -No tongs/tweezers needed for feeding because the crickets climb in the tubes and you use them to drop crickets into the cage. -Comes with food and water dish for caring for your crickets -Water dish comes with small sponge so tray can be filed but crickets don’t drown. -Removable lid makes transferring crickets or cleaning keeper easy Cons: -The food and water dish in this one are not secured in the keeper. Crickets kept getting smashed between the dish and walls of container. I don’t know if all of them are made like this, I simply used double-sided tape to stick them in place and it’s worked much better.
