Desperatly seeking plastic vents in Canada

vilem · 08-05-04, 09:50 AM

The subject says it all, I'm finishing 3 new cages and I need some specific vent grills. I have found some in the US but I'd rather buy them in Canada if possible.

Here's the vent I am looking for:

It's item number 1970.

I've looked in each and every hardware store in eastern canada but I cannot find vents like those, the ones that they have in stock are not appropriate for small boids since they have bigger holes in them.

If you know where to buy similar plastic vents please let me know

Thanks,
Guillaume

closest thing i can think of is the floor vents. i used them in large tubs as vents, but they were metal. just pull the cover off to get rid of the open/close thing. comes in many sizes, and i *think* they make em in plastic too?

I have never seen anything like that here, and I have looked around for different types of vents. I have seen some metal ones like that in the roofing section of home depot, but I temd to use the plastic open/close floor vents for my cages. Hope that helps you.

we used a vent that was just a screw on vent and put wire screen behind it. Worked pretty food for us. Crickets can't escape so I"m sure nothing else would.

Hubby didn't want to cute the entire rectangle out so he just did 3 circles. the lizards don't seem to mind.

I have 3" and 5" round plastic vents in my enclosures. The only place in my area that I was able to get them from was Home Hardware. They work great, and can just pop in and out for easy moving (I use the vent holes as handles), or if you want, you can also secure them with screws or silicone.
