Cheap leopard gecko enclosure???

Question

Is there any way for me to cheaply build an enclosure/tank for a leopard gecko???

Answer 1

well you can buy a ten gallon tank for about 10 bucks dude

and it ends up being expensive because you need the correct heat source, hide spaces and everything else.

Answer 2

go look on craigslist i got a 55 gallon for mine for thirty

Answer 3

No. Just get a 10 or 20 gallon tank. I bet costs under $40.  

Answer 4

The tank's inexpensive. Buy a complete one for about £20.

Answer 5

If it's a baby then a ten gallon would be prefect - it's like $8 bucks at a big pet store like pet land..

the heat LAMP you can get at wallmart for like  $7

the actual light can cost about $8-9

You need a moist hide..if you want to go cheap you can get plastic containers for..lets say.. $4

and a dry hide..get a pack of 2 plastic containers..

a water dish & calcium powder dish..umm.. $13 for two good ones at a pet store...

& paper towels for substrate..

with tax and stuff a cheap enclosure would be about $45-50 dollars..

Those are super rough estimations, but I think it can be done for relatively cheap.  

Answer 6

Leopard geckos don't need large enclosures (20gals) and actually buying one from craigslist might be very inexpensive compared to getting the materials to build your own. Another solution is to ask at an aquarium store if they have leaky tanks, since they usually let these go very cheaply.
