Would a 10 gallon glass terrarium be good fr caging crickets?

Sup guys just wondering if I can cage my crickets in my 10 gallon glass terrarium with a screen hood on top... Is it ok?

i used a 10 gallon Aquarium with screen lid and it worked great. No escapes! I don't know how different an aquarium is than a terrarium. I guess the terrarium has ventilation onthe sides?

The main difference is terrariums aren't designed to hold/support water (thinner glass), just a bit of dirt.

A 10 gallon tank can house about 1000 crickets fairly easily. As long as you clean it well a couple times a week, and have enough egg crates or paper towel rolls.

If your chameleon is eating pinhead crickets they can climb the glue in the corners and escape....but they are fine for crickets that are too big to get through the screen.
