Other places to check would be any superstore or places like BigLots.

If you Google "butterfly cages" you will find a whole bunch of these in all different sizes.

Personaly, I prefer the 12'' net cubes :balloon:

genius idea! You could run a tube for a humidifier through the length of it to allow for mist to enter evenly without being diverted by the netting

I was out the other day and saw a guy doing laundry and he had the most interesting "laundry" bag/basket. I asked where he got it and he told me IKEA. The top can be velcroed or something, for sure, and it is a good size for a large communal setting, mating, or just giving mass nymphs some "breathing room".

AND ONLY $7.99!

Here is a photo from the website:

Laundry basket at Ikea

The Dollar Store also has something similar would need a little alteration but would work and only a buck cant beat that

I like to find any reason at all to go to Ikea. Dollar store? Not so much. :lol:

You're missing out.

There isn't a single one in my state. The closest one is over 300 miles away.

Has anyone seen much smaller versions of these...?

insect Lore has the Pop up port a bug has small ones. I like them for travel but they are small for the price. http://www.insectlore.com/Living+Kits/Insects+Spiders/Pop-Up+Port-A-Bug.axdThat company used to make my favorite all time cage but the discontinued it. http://www.amazingbutterflies.com/graphics/insectlore/lgportabug.gif I love the triangular shape. I think it creates a great shedding position with the slight angle. I've seen some users post triangle cages supposedly in the works but I haven't found anyone actually selling them.

I bought the last 3 pyramid net cages from Carey at mantispets.com over a year ago. She still has them listed, but not in stock. I want some more.

I just noticed on another link Live Monarch lists having a pyramid castle! I never noticed it before since it doesn't ever show it with the rest of their net cages. http://www.livemonarch.com/castle.htm No photos of it but it is the third from the bottom.
