cage too big ?

[seanmcc]

rescently i aquired 5 adult leos around 6-9"long each , one male and 4 females. Ive got a 210g tank thats cracked on the bottom side , the foot print is 72"x24" . would this be ok or too big . i dont have alot of experience with these guys yet so im asking . if i have to, i have a 48"x24" wooden cage i can use, the only issue with it is , the crickets climb and every time i open the top they get out ,so id like to use the bigger tank. let me know your opinions.

I would go with the wooden one. You can feed mealworms.

i wood be afraid with the big one that they couldnt find ther food. U mite try to make some sort of dividers to divide the tank into like 2, 3, or even 4 parts.. this site http://www.goreptiles.com/tips.cfm?Category=Fake%20Rock%20Instructions has some good tips. she makes a backround but you could do the same thing to make a divider or even a couuple dividers.

oh and if you just got them you need to set up single cages for at lest 30 days 90 would be better for quarantine then you can worry about the permanent home.
