Choosing the right rack system

While I have the luxury of not having a ton of adult geckos, I've been putting a lot of thought and work into my adult enclosures. The most common technique seems to be using 66-quart Sterilite bins. They are roughly 15 gallons in size and typically are used to house 2-3 female geckos and 1 male gecko. Another option is a screen enclosure such as Zoo Meds ReptiBreeze.

In the end, I decided to go with the Sterilite bins. The main reason is that I felt I would have to use a live shrub in the ReptiBreeze enclosures and setting up appropriately lighting to support that would have made it difficult to use any sort of rack system.

After researching various commercial rack systems, I settled with building my own with melamine boards. I've posted a build log of this project. I'm extremely happy with how it turned out.



My only problem now is decided how I want to house individual males. I'll save that for another posting though.
