Is the mesh small enough to keep hatchlings in?
I bought an egg case for our summer project. I plan on releasing most of the babies into our garden, and keeping one as a pet.
I'm concerned they could get through the netting when they hatch and then I'll have babies all over my house.
I also have an insect catcher with finer mesh, but would prefer to keep the egg case here where I can keep a closer look on it.
Will it suffice? (Pen for scale. Sorry, out of bananas)
Also, just for the record, I'm currently growing vining plants to put in the terrarium. Waiting for the roots to become a little stronger. His home will be a lovely oasis by the time he gets here.
