Re: terrestrial gecko rack
I've seen these, but I've seen different types. Do you have 3 drawers there stacked ontop of eachother, or is that one whole unit? Looks like 3, but I thought I'd ask Also, would you mind posting some photos of them when they're inhabited? Thanks!

Re: terrestrial gecko rack
I saw those at target the other day and was thinking that they might work for balls. Are there security issues with them? I didn't really look that close.

There's some really large gaps between the edges of the drawers and the frames that a snake could easily squeeze through, or even use to push the drawer open enough to get out. I wouldn't recommend them for anything that has the ability to reach the tops of the drawers.

Re: terrestrial gecko rack
Do you think something like this would work for arboreal geckos (aka cresteds)? I was thinking about making a rack for the babies and breeding couples, anyway, but I saw this and it made me wonder: could I punch a bunch of little holes in these for ventilation? Also, would it ever be safe because the little guys could get on the top----and when you pull the shelf out, they'd get toes and tails stuck?
What do you think?

Re: terrestrial gecko rack
each drawer is an individual unit and you can stack as many as you like. in these units in particular there is actually a much smaller gap above the drawers compared to other drawer units in which there is quite a large gap, and since they are completely enclosed as opposed to just a frame in which the drawer sits they are much more secure. however, i can fit my finger through the gap so i am sure that a crested gecko or any snake would be sure to wedge itself through the gap and find a way out of the unit. i have yet to find any kind of drawer unit that would work for arboreal geckos or snakes just because they aren't secure enough. these are the best i've found, but still only good for terrestrial species that won't be able to reach that gap in the top to escape.
i'll post some pics of the inhabited cages tonight.

Re: terrestrial gecko rack
mealworms are a fine staple diet for leos. i feed mainly mealworms (and superworms for adults) along with crickets once or twice per week.
you can see what i have available on my site at www.cookreptiles.com/available.html. this past season i bred shtct's (the ones in the second pic are female breeders, the one in the last pic is one of the babies) and this coming season i will also be breeding patternless las vegas albinos (the ones in the third pic).
