Hatchling tubs

hey guys!

i have a question with the tub size. I'm trying to figure out what is too small and what is too big. I know alot of people use shoebox sized tubs but how big is that?

I have a tub that's about 5 gallons. is that too small for a hatchling? it's about 1/2 foot x 1 foot

most use 6 quart sterilite tubs which are 13 1/2”L x 8 1/4”W x 4 3/4”H which is 1 1/2 gallons

quick questions are solid color tubs worse than clear tubs? The dollar tree has solid white tubs that would perfect for hatchlings just curious if clear tubs are prefered over solid colored tubs? thanks dont mean to high jacvk thread thought it kind of worked together lol

i would recommend getting clear tubs. my thought is it would might mess with their light cycle if you got the solid color tubs. i could be totally wrong. i have seen people using solid tubs but i prefer the clear.

that was my thought exactly maybe some other people will chime in, I saw a thread with a guys rack that used kitty litter pans that were solid color but who knows

Dollar General and Family Dollar and Big Lots and Wal-Mart have clear shoe boxes for a dollar or less.
