    all those will work but literally as of now my ball will climb up and down it and cant get it open, when you close it it has to come up and then over a lip and then you press it down and it does almost lock you feel it grab into a snug position. i actually check all the doors on them before i bought this one and this was the one that gave me the most secure seat in the door. but you could easily wedge something (block) or what have you in between top door and tub and if they get out of that well then there is no hope

    Which of these do you think could comfortably house adult BPs?

    Small:
    Size: Exterior Dimensions: 19.5” L x 17.5” W x 11.6” H

    Medium:
    Size: Exterior Dimensions: 19.5” L x 17.5” W x 15.1” H

    Large:
    Size: Exterior Dimensions: 22.0” L x 17.5” W x 15.1” H

    I dunno. They seem a bit short to comfortably house a BP. Their quart sizes are amicable, though. Thoughts?

    Yaaeee
    I'm excited to try this out as I've wanted an eyelash crested gecko for some time now! It'll be super space saving (:

    I dont think housing a fully grown adult ball in these would be advisable from see most house in lengths of 3-4 ft or greater with tubs or tanks but you might be able to get away with it. So far perfect for my juvi balls and hognose with will be perfect for an adult.

    My local Home Depot has these in several sizes/colors and IIRC some that are in a stacked combo kind of like a half height filing cabinet, I'm assuming that means the other Home Depots have them too.

    hopefully more people start buying them and the demand for bigger sizes increase say maybe one day a 36Lx24Wx20H or so :D
