 |
|
ive been looking all over the place to find the cheapest Really Useful Boxes and what sizes i need for a small rack for some leopard geckos from hatching's to adults.
i was going to build a W 4ft x D 2ft x H 4ft rack but the 50L is about 4inches too long and wide for that kind of rack
12L = D 460 W 260 H 140 = for hatching's
18L = D 485 W 385 H 200 = for adults 1.1 or 1.2?
50L = D 710 W 440 H 230
just wonder what people have use will the 18L be too small for adults? it seem quite big. |

12L = D 18" W 10" H 5.5"
18L = D 19" W 15" H 8"
50L = D 28" W 17" H 9"
(Roughly) |

Wouldn't use the 18l for adults unless it was a single small one.
Would keep 1.1/1.2 in the 50l.

You would be best off figuring out what tubs you want to use, and make sure they meet the animals needs sizewise, and THEN build the rack around the dimensions of the tubs. Much neater this way and you can make it much more functional

I would put a lot of vents in them as I have found leos benefit from a good amount of airflow.
