Opinion on tub sizes.

[Adinar]

We're planning on building our own rack for our geckos since we need to get rid of some of these tanks that are completly cluttering the place up. Few people have told us the 6 qt shoeboxes are big enough to house adults. Is this true? Or is the 16 qt better for an adult. Personally I think the shoebox is a little too small, but I'm not so sure.

What do you all use?

6 qt is way too small for adults, those are typically used from hatchling to about 20 grams. I keep my adults in 18.5 quart Iris brand tubs.

6qt is for hatchlings.
16qt for single adults.

 

[Adinar]

That's what I was thinking.

Yup, 6qts can be used for hatchlings, but not adults. Single adults can be housed in 12qt's, but 16qt's give a little more room and can be used aswell .

12 QT sterilites is what we use for our adults. 6 QT for hatchlings

So where are some decent sites to check some of these 12 qt tubs out without paying a lot of money (since I'm going to need a ton.)
