Im usuing a large one for my baby ackie and its working great. Its got anywhere from 8in to a 1ft of substrait and has a good amount of floor space. I used the original lid for the top, just cut it and added screen. I dont think one would work for an adult unless you found a giant one. Also my reptile room stays really warm so I dont have to use a lot of high powered bulbs to get the desired basking and ambient temps. I have had great success with mine dont know if it would work for most situations, and I plan on moving mine into a custom built cage when it gets bigger.
