I'm looking into buying my first rack. I was looking at the Nature's Spirit racks, and originally was planning on getting the 10-hole shoebox rack. But I just wanted to make sure - are the "shoebox" style racks designed for hatchlings/juvies, or are they big enough for single adults? Are "shoeboxes" 16 quart tubs, or are they smaller? If not, which are the ones that are 16 quarts (and big enough for single adults)? Are those boot boxes, or shirt boxes? Sorry, so many different names that don't seem to have universal dimensions/quart measurements.
If I don't get the NS rack, I was looking at a couple other brands. For the Animal Plastics Iris racks, which ones would be for single adult geckos? The 375 Series, or the larger sizes? It looks like most of the rack manufacturers are talking about snakes, not geckos, so I wasn't sure if what they call "juvie" racks would be big enough for adult geckos. These don't come with tubs so for the 375 series it says to go to the container store and either get the men's shoe box or the boot box - which is big enough for adults? The CB-70 series says to use tubs that are 9.25 gallons, so that's more that twice the size of 16 quarts...
Last but not least, I was also looking at the Reptile Basic racks. For adults, would I want to go with the Iris Shoebox rack (listed on the "For Baby/Juvie Snakes" page) or the Iris MCB-S Rack Wide Version? The MCB-S says it holds eight 12.2 quart tubs, so I guess that would be close enough to 16 quarts?
Sorry I'm really clueless and maybe I didn't use the right terms but the search function didn't quite hit the nail on the head for my question.
