Can't decide...

I have been wanting a vision rack, but I can't decide which one to get. My budget only allows a total of 400 dollars. Which would you buy for a Leopard Gecko?

How many leos do you have?
Are they breeding?

I take it this is what you did?

If so, what did you use for the shelves and frame?

I use vision racks, the 20 15-qt, and 10 32-qt are the exact same rack, except the 15-qt comes with more heat rope. I order the 15-qt, even if I’m using it for 32-qt. After all is said in done it cost about $500 to get a rack set-up like that.

No, they are not breeding. I just thought it would be best to have a setup before breeding. I have 2 males and 2 females.

Well I use 32q in the rack that I built. I know that people say you can use 15q, but I have found that the leos get these dirty alot faster than my 32q. They track calcium in the water dish pretty fast in those 15q. I would say though get the biggest capacity rack that you can afford. I am out of space already and I know that I am gonna have to work on building another rack before next years breeding season.

I have seen plans for making one at the Vivarium forum but dont remember what part. I know there are plans to be found on the net, so maybe you will have to do some searching.
Also, a member on our own beloved forum made a nice one a few months back. So you should do a search here as well.
Good luck.

Thanks, I think I'll need it!

Ok heres what to do! go to a department store and buy the tubs there for like 1 to 2$ each for like 32 quarts. Then go to garage sales and look for a shelf. then u put it all tougher and BOOM you have 350$ left over!
