Hatchling tubs

[tarkah]

hey guys!

i have a question with the tub size. I'm trying to figure out what is too small and what is too big. I know alot of people use shoebox sized tubs but how big is that?

I have a tub that's about 5 gallons. is that too small for a hatchling? it's about 1/2 foot x 1 foot

most use 6 quart sterilite tubs which are 13 1/2”L x 8 1/4”W x 4 3/4”H which is 1 1/2 gallons

i would recommend getting clear tubs. my thought is it would might mess with their light cycle if you got the solid color tubs. i could be totally wrong. i have seen people using solid tubs but i prefer the clear.

that was my thought exactly maybe some other people will chime in, I saw a thread with a guys rack that used kitty litter pans that were solid color but who knows

Dollar General and Family Dollar and Big Lots and Wal-Mart have clear shoe boxes for a dollar or less.
