Anyone know if a 16" x 10.75" x 3.75" sweaterbox container in a rack system would be able to house 1.2 adult leopard geckos? The guy who makes the rack says that is what people use it for but i wans't to sure on it.. Thanks for feedback beforehand

Most of mine are in 12 quart sterilite containers (individually) with a footprint of aprox. 9 x 11 inches. I sure wouldn't go any smaller ...three in a 10 x 16 containers doesn't sound realistic or particularly humane. Good luck - and kudos for not just accepting the persons word straight up.
Good luck,
Andrea A.

I like to give at least 12x24 for each leo in an enclosure and enough height to at least stretch up the side. At least 12", not 3.75.
If you give your leos a chance, most love to climb and spend a lot of time off the ground. Maybe mine are wierd lol, but they love to climb

If I were you I'd get the biggest floorspace you can accomodate.
good luck with your decision, you're doing the right thing by asking first instead of later.
