Is it ok to use a 50 gal. rubbermaid storage container to house a leo. gecko?

Question

I have a juvi right now and im keeping her in a 10 gallon tank but when she gets bigger i'll obviously need a bigger place for her to live.

20 gallon tanks are $30 at petsmart

and a 50 gallon rubbermaid storage container is about $12-$15

I would be keeping it without the lid since im using a heat lamp and so there would be air flow

do you think its a good idea or should i buy a 20 gallon tank?

Answer 1

rubber maid the bigger the better

Answer 2

30$. that's it, mine was 50$. I would go with the 50 gallon.

Answer 3

sure sounds great..

but dont mess with voodoo...its dangerous

Answer 4

Well the bigger the better, Your right you should care what it looks like as long as your leo is happy, and i think he will be very happy. just make sure it dont burn, and make sure he is hot enough

Answer 5

Wow I would get the 50 gallon, but 20 gallon tank would look better.

Answer 6

you should get a 20 gallon, this may just be me but i like to watch my lizards activity i would want something that i could see into from the sides i recommend a 20 gallon tank do not waste ur money on a rubbermaid container  

Answer 7

50 gallons is a little excessive for a leo, but yeah it works fine.
