IJ housing guestions inside

SnakeFreak Oct 15, 2003 07:31 AM

I'm building a rack and I'm probably going to use rubbermaids 2221 7 gallon tubs. They are 23" by 16" and are 6" high. The floor space is 368 square inches. The closest thing I can find to compare them to is a 20 long tank, which has a floor space of 360 square inches. Is the floor space enough for an IJ and if so, is 6 inches tall enough or should I use tubs with a height of 9 or 12 inches?

I use the 12" high tubs that have that floor space for my juvenile carpets. The higher cage allows me to put branches in it.

to climb or will the 6" high ones work?

The 6" ones would "work" but the taller boxes would be much more appropriate for an IJ. They will want and will utilize the height...
