Adult size hide?

[adamsky27]

I am going to be placing an order through Reptile Basics soon and I was wondering which size hides I need for adult Leos.

Will the "Small Hide Box" be big enough? The dimensions are 5.5"x4"x2.125" tall.

What about the "Mini Hide Box?" The dimensions for it are 5.5"x3"x1.5" tall.

Do you guys recommend anything other than the RBI hides?

Our guy has a butter tub with a hole cut in the side! We turned it upside down (so it's wider at the bottom) and he scoots it around in his tank.

I bought litter pans from walmart for my adults and also got some small dish tubs from the dollar store and cut them down (they were too deep for the rack)

I just got a free small habba hut from a reptile expo. To be honest almost everything works for my naturalistic display I use a coconut that I slit in two and cut a hole in. I also use paper mâché hides and pieces of a water bottle. Make sure you have 2+ hides, one one the warm side and one on the cool side. Good luck

I use bowls from the dollar store and just cut holes in them, but I'd say probably the small would be fine from RBI if you are dead set on that.

I'd go with the small. Here is a comparision photo I took with a 200 gram pastel ball python:

For leopard geckos?

The Serpent Merchant hank you for the pics, and thank you all for the replies.

I have a Green Giant broccoli with cheese sauce dish for my hognose, looks very similar to the mini, and it was free! (And yummy!)

I use the swifer sweeper plastic boxes things that the pads come in. Lid is clear so i just put a piece of newpaper on it that way its easy to check on the geckos without opening or stressing them out. Clean it good and just cut a whole on the side. Its like 7x4X4inches and good for breeding females to lay in
