hatchling hides

geckoguy_ottawa May 07, 2004 01:59 PM

Hi there,
For some of you leopard gecko breeders out who use clay plant pots for hides, how do you cut out the hole without it shattering?
Thanks,
Jason

I havent used the pots for geckos but I did use some in my fish tank, and I used a dremel tool at a high setting and a diamond tip, and slowly worked the tip around the opening repeatedly so it didnt shatter....luckily those pots are real cheap..hehe

Just take a hammer and smack it really fast on the side. Hit it in the inside, not the outside. Works like a charm!!
