Leopard Gecko for a cardboard box

[JoseLorenzoFTW]

Hey, I was wondering if I could use a cardboard box for my leo hatchling? It's about 2 weeks old and she's in a 2.5 gallon tank right now, and I want to move her to a bigger enclosure. So, I decided to use a cardboard box. Wondering if there are pros and cons? Thanks in advance.

The con is that you can't sterilize cardboard properly before you put her in and of course cannot clean it in future either. Just pick up an appropriately sized plastic storage tub from hardware or office supply store, add plenty of air holes, cut out a section from the lid and glue a mesh screen over it, much better solution.

not to mention that trying to heat the box would be difficult and a fire hazard. go with the above comment ^^
