I am looking for suggestions or input on ways I could possibly put together some sort of crested gecko rack system. (Maybe a cabinet of some kind I can modify?) If nothing else, I can resort to building shelves, just so I don't have a ton of gecko rubbermaids at floor length.
Suggestions would be appreiciated.
Right now I have 4 geckos of various sizes. 1 male for sure, 1 female for sure, and the other two look like 1.1 so far.
Obviously I'm going to need seperate housing for the males. Right now the ones I currently have are of slightly different sizes, so they all need seperate housing (only reason dreki and swami need to be seperated is that she needs to be up to breeding weight before they're allowed "free reign".
As for caging on hand, I have 3 rubbermaid containers (56 qrt, I think, I'm not at home, so I can't tell). And I have the custom cage, that is 24 tall by 10.5? by 10.5.
It might also be nice to be able to incorporate some enclosures (seperate "rack") that can be put together for babies.
Also, I am 5'1", I'm not really interested in standing on a stool every time I need to do something to the top cage.
Anyway, it ought to be interesting to see what you guys think.

I think the garage cabinets made by Rubbermaid, Black n Decker, etc. are great for this sort of thing. I used the wall-mount-style cabinet to create my current crestie enclusure, but there are two larger sizes, with the largest going generally for a bit under $70. Replace some portion of the door plastic with craft mesh or galvanized steel mesh or even plastic garden mesh, set up the shelves and dividers the way you like them, even split the doors height-wise if you want, they're very customizable if you take a creative approach. You can have small enclosures for the full height of one side and one or two taller ones on the other side, or whatever.

There are lots of rack designs out there many which could be modified to suit crested geckos all are basically shelves you just need to allow room for use of the tub lid as well here are two differnt types that could both be used " these are just examples the tub size can easily be modified "
and a plan that could be modified for taller shorter tubs

For anybody interested in a crested gecko "proffesional" looking breeders rack, http://www.acreptiles.com/ is going to start selling them soon.
I have not built anything at this point, the rubbermaids I had purchased stack nicely on their own, so no point.
