Now the rule is 10 gallons per leo correct, so like a 20 long can hold two geckos because it's floor space is equal to that of a 30 gallon.
So heres my project but I want to make sure it can hold all 6 of my geckos
I have a white shelf with the dimensions of 44"w x 11"H x 9" deep
it has three of these shelves.
Now the square inchage of a 10 gallon aqua. is 200 in^2, but you say it's okay to house adult geckos in 16qt tubs which are 117 in^2, hmmmm so if this holds true and you all say the geckos are fine that would mean that the area of one shelf can hold .......
44
X 9
------
396
/117 = 3.4
Therefore 3 geckos can fit on one shelve, correct? Now to maximize this space further, I can add a second level so I now have double the floor space correct but still keep it at the 3 geckos, no more than that will be housed together.
But here is the shelf
Then I will add plexiglass screens with hinges on the bottom and a lock on the top or a magnet lock with gecko handles like --->
The homes can be opened 6 different places, so If I wanted to split them down the middle where the bar is, I can, as to seperate my 2 males and my geckos that are to little to be housed together.
I will also have to find someway to put in the heating pads, have any ideas? The wood is to thick to place underneath, I can't have them directly on it..What if I used tile and placed them underneath the tile? That still leaves me with the issue of the cords.
Okay well, I want to here your guys ideas and stuff and please if you have critism... say it nicely okay. THanks
