What is a good baby rack

[Dotworks01]

What is better for baby leopard geckos and fat tail geckos a rack with larger tubs but less tubs or a rack with smaller tubs and more tubs. How man cages are really needed to house one females offspring and what is a suitable size tub??

What racks are you guys using?

Dot,

I use 6q tubs for my hatchlings. I move them to a 15q tub when they reach around 25-30 grams. Hope that helps

Ok that helps but if i breed one Leo and she has babies what is better for me to get a 6quart rack with 16 tubs or a fifteen quart with 8 tubs

If you have only one breeding pair a rack with larger tubs would be too big for babies. Adults can live in pretty tanks Ideally, something that can house both size tubs would be more efficient for a small scale operation. It may cost a little more going in but would be more save the expense of two separate systems. I'm using a rack with large tubs for adults and a regular bookcase with heat cable for 6qt hatchling tubs. We plan to build a new rack later this year.

Use the 6qt for any babies you may hatch out
