RACK IDEAS!!

[drpkckmurphy22]

I dont want to spend lots of money on Freedom Breeders and Vision Racks..... So I need good instructions on how to make a hatchling (6-quart tubs) rack that can house about 100-200. And for adults (15-quart tubs) I need instructions for a rack that can house about 100. Anything is welcome!!

Is 15quarts for adult leos not a little small?

 

[leoman777]

the minimun should be atleast 32 quarts for adults

ummm where did you hear that? For one leo a 32 qt is PLENTY of room, the bare minimum IMO and others, is a 12qt. If you have room for 32 qts per adult, then great go for it, no harm will be done just more room for the gecko. But some people with 100+ leos will not want 32 qts when they could have a smaller bin and have more leos. unless they want their house/apartment completely filled.

A 15qt tub will house an adult comfortably

Just my opinion

i heard it on here somewhere oh well than i guess 15 quart is fine

32-35 quarts is the standard for group breeding setups, 1.2-1.4, standard for single adults is 12-16 quarts.

I have a 15qt Sterilite tub that I store papers in and when I pulled it out to
see the size I am surprised that it does seem a tad small.

It seems that once a very small hide & humid box is in place there will only be room for a small water, food & calcium dish period?

Don't the Leos need some "space" to move about?

Can someone post a photo showing just how it would be set up for 1 adult gecko?

Thanks,
Michael

Well I currently dont have any pictures of my set ups...But Albey from "too cool" reptiles has a video on youtube of her set up...and mine and a lot of other breeders i know have them set up like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trF4F0N5Mgs
It may seem small but in all reality it just fine. Especially if you take them out every now and then, or I also have a few 30gal tanks that I rotate a leo in every month. Gives them new scenery and me a new gecko to watch do its thing. I have 26qt rack for breeding pairs and Galeatus, but use the the males shoe box tubs for all my other leos.
