    Tub size help!

    Hi all! I can't decide on a tub size for cresties. I am switching to a tub system. I've heard from many to use a 28 quart tub for one adult. I bought some and they look so tiny! I feel bad. But they fit perfectly into my room. Is this size ok for one adult gecko or should I get bigger?

    well the 28 qt tubs I use for snakes are only 6" high. I would think you'd want something taller for an arboreal gecko.

    These are tall tubs with little floor space. Not the snake ones.

    I use 66 quarts tubs http://m.sterilite.com/mobile.html?i...=252&section=1 for single gecko and 110 quarts for 2 or 3.

    Alright thanks! I'm definitely going to go with bigger tubs! Do you find the humidity is decent? I plan on putting a screen on one side for ventilation and viewing. I have a mist king for my other reptiles and was thinking of hooking it up to the tubs. But not sure if that will be too much...
