how many gallons is this?

[LepGekPunk]

i have an exo terra viv, dimensions 60 x 45 x 45

can anyone tell me how many gallons this is?

 

[ElapidSVT]

is that cm or inches?
numbers without units are meaningless.

1 cubic foot = 7.48051948 US gallons

 

[LepGekPunk]

its inches

 

[ElapidSVT]

did you need someone to do the math for you, then?

5'* 3.75'*3.75'= 70.3125 cu ft

70.3125cu ft*7.48051948 gallons/cu ft= 521 gallons

 

[LepGekPunk]

oh wait haha its CM, i thought 521 gallons seemed a bit much haha

would you mind re-calculating? =D

 

[ElapidSVT]

lol... i was thinking.. wow! that's a BIG cage

2'*1.5'*1.5'=4.5cu ft
4.5 cu ft*7.5 gal/cu ft=33.75 gallons

Don't go by the number of gallons, since that viv is very tall. Go by the square footage of the floor, which in this case is 432 sq. inches (18"x24"). That compares with 360 sq. inches for a 20 gallon long, which usually holds 2 geckos, so I guess the exoterra would be OK for 3, and better if you utilize some of the height and build an "upstairs".
