sterilite drawrs?

Walmart: Sterilite 3 Drawer Wide Cart- White

Ok, so...I saw these and I was wanting to use them as a sort of rack system for my leopard geckos so i can make more room for my crested project.

Pros? Cons? Suggestions? Why or why not?

Thanks!

It would work but I don't know how you would heat them since the tops open up to the bottom of the next tub without anything in between.

Re: sterilite drawrs?

I use several sets of these drawers for storage and while what you're looking at may be different, the ones I have would not be secure enough to house any critter that can crawl. There are simply too many openings/cracks etc. and I suspect that you would end up having your animals escape on a regular basis. Just my thoughts...

I have two of these for storage. No matter what type of animal you put in there it's going to be out in less than 24. If you could figure a way to put a lid on the drawers it might work. If you go to Walmart they normally have one of these on display so you can see the gaps in each of the drawers once you close them.

Click around here and see what you can find. I'm thinking of giving these a try.
