Leopard Gecko Rack
Does anyone keep their geckos in a rack system for either breeding groups or individuals? What size tubs could you recommend individuals or breeding groups of any size? And how does feeding the geckos work when in a rack, specifically for crickets and possible escapes from the rack.
I currently have extra space in a BP rack i just made. It has 6 41qt Sterlite tubs (only two of them are currently being used) and room for up to 6 Iris shoebox tubs. Would these extra tubs be suitable to house any geckos in? Any advice would be really appreciated, thanks all in advance =]

I keep 3 leos in a 32 quarts tub in my rack and it works perfectly.

I never feed crickets however seing how the rack is built I would say the crickets cannot escape unless you open the tub, being they can jump pretty high they could escape soon as you open the tub but once the tub is closed they cannot (depending on the rack of course)

Re: Leopard Gecko Rack
i kept my male in my rack while he was getting some size on him b4 i put him with my females and he did great, if you feed crickets just be quick as they will jump out on ya. open the tub up just enough and throw them to the back of the tub and shut it quickly

Re: Leopard Gecko Rack
I use a rack for my leos. All the adults are in 15 qt tubs and I would put the babies in 6qt tubs. As for the crickets, when I had to feed crickets I never had a problem with them escaping. But I feed one leo at a time, one cricket at a time. If the leo ate the first cricket I would offer another and if they were not interested in that one I would take the cricket out. If it did eat that one I would repeat the process. All my leos are now on super worms so I don't have to worry about escapees but I still do the same process with the supers.
