Leopard gecko carrier

Messages

Okay so I have a carrier for my gecko but it won't be big enough for when my little buddy gets older so does anybody have any ideas on how it should look? I have a small(but big enough) box with a snap on lid and obviously it will have air holes but is normal plastic bad for them at all and how should the interior look? Like should it have a moist hide and a log or something? Any ideas welcome!:main_thumbsup:

When I move my geckos I stick them in a relatively small Tupperware container (deli cups for 60g and under and sandwich containers for over 60g) with a slightly moist paper towel. If you have stuff in the cage and you turn hard or stop short in a car you run the risk of the stuff smushing or otherwise really hurting your gecko. Even if you have nothing in the cage and you stop short - smashing into the side after flying a foot hurts more than an inch.

If you're planning to take him somewhere for more than a half day a carrier might be needed but I would still stick him in a Tupperware when you're traveling to and from your destination - better safe than sorry :)
