15qt. Big Enough?

[Nahph1]

Well with our season going very well and our collection growing what seems to be daily, I was wondering if 15qt tubs are big enough to house single juvis and adults. Right now I keep my single adults in 28qt tubs. I would like to move them all to 15qt tubs. I'm sure they will hate me for it, but it's either that or dedicate another room to reptiles. I think I've read that some other breeders use the 15's. Would they get just a moist hide over the heat do to limited space, because right now they have a humid and a dry hide. Any help would be great. Thanks.

We use the iris tubs that are around that size. I just have a moist hide and they seem ok with that. Some of them lay inside, some outside, and some right on top of it.

Thanks for the reply kristi, I guess I'll have to try it. I will have my last 28qt rack filled by the end of the month. I'm gonna make a 18 tub rack for the 15qt tubs. But I'll keep the 28qt. rack for my breeding pairs/groups.

I use 16qt tubes for adults, i'm sure they will be fine

I use 32-qt for adults.

so 12 quarts are fine for adult leos because i have a rack that has 6 quarts for babys i do not know what to put in the 12 quarts and 28 quarts for breeding pairs with 3 leos in them
