Hi!
Sorry for the delay, I am out of town for the holidays and have not been keeping up with posts...
Congrats on the rescue! He's a cutie! A shoebox sized tote is just fine for an adult leopard gecko that's being healed and recovering from trama.. it's better to go small then large in that case. The only thing to make sure of in that sized container is for him to get warm enough and then be able to get a cool zone. As long as you have that, he'll be just fine until you find him another home. If you decide to keep him I would keep him in a minimum of a 10g aquarium. I know some breeders use a 15qt Sterilite for adults.. but I prefer a larger long term setup.

I would def make sure to add a humidity box to help with the shed and hydration. You can also soak him in about 1/4" of luke warm or room temp water for about 20 minutes or so a couple of times a week. That will help him hydrate quickly since they are not a tropical lizard.
Sorry again for not responding sooner! I hope he's doing okay!
Happy Thanksgiving!
