Is this big enough for 1.4 breeding group

Hi,
Can someone tell me if this Sterilite storage box is big enough for my 1.4 breeding group of leos or should I go bigger? Im building a rack and I'm trying to figure out what size to use.

28 quart - 23" long, 16"wide, 5 1/2" high.

Also do you think 4 1/2 quart - 13" long, 7 1/2" wide, 3 1/2 high is big enough to keep the babies in for a while?

I would say go definitely bigger for the 1.4 breeding group. The container you described is just about 2' square of floor space which isn't enough IMO.

The other container size sounds fine for hatchlings and babies up to 2 months or so.

I agree, go bigger for the group. In my opinion, for 5 leos, at least 3 square feet of floor space. Or even better 4.5 square feet (ex: 18 inches deep by 36 inches long).

Bigger is better in this case! Don't forget to quarentine individuals and provide them all with their own hides! Good luck!
