Rack Box Size Questions

[FloridaNature]

I am thinking of buying or building a small rack system.
10 boxes at the most. What I would like to know is:

What size box is most common or best for adult Leos?

I know it will be one male to a box but what about females?

What brand box is most recommended? Sterilite ? Rubbermaid?



Thanks,
Michael

Its best to keep leos singly, regardless of sex.

15 quarts is the standard size for single adults. I use Rubbermaid Cleverstore 15 quarts and I love them, they are shorter(5.5" tall) and give more floor space than most 15 quarts. If you want to keep groups of females, then 28 quarts or larger is the minimum. And you need to watch for fighting. A group of 2-3 adult females in a 28 quart.

We keep most of our adults in 32qt sterilite containers, one leo to each. We also use 15qt as well. Where in Florida do you live? We're in the Tampa area and have extra containers available, including lids, already ventilated -- if you're interested, send me a PM.
