Slide-out drawers for leos

[G.E.C.K]

I have a leo and a fat tail that I'm currently keeping in 10 gallon tanks. They're very shy, so I want to put them in some kind of enclosure where they can thermoregulate without feeling exposed. I just have these 2 geckos, so I don't want to buy or build a rack system. For me, some sort of plastic bin or slide out drawer seems like the way to go.

I was looking at this:

I'm going to go and check this out at a target tomorrow to see it for myself. Does anyone use the plastic pull-out drawers? I've read about leos escaping from some, but I'm curious if anyone has used these successfully for geckos.

heating is the issue with drawers

i was going to try that as well but was worryed about the same thing so i havnt.

It has been done before and usually people who have done it have reported escapes and difficulty heating

If these were any good, we'd all have them. They're inexpensive and readily available. As others have said, geckos escape and proper heat is difficult at best. Geckos escaping is reason enough not to use them.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll get a couple of rubbermaid tubs instead.
