rubbermaid size.

I am starting to think about getting rid of all my miscellaneous tanks and rubbermaids and convert them to racks. So I have a couple questions about rubber maid sizes. If you could answer 1 or all I would be very grateful. Ok what size rubbermaid do i need for cornsnake ; ball python ; pictus gecko ; and pacman frog? thx in advance.

Concept, your going to get a kick in the butt from a mod, shoulda posted it in the general enclosure discussion.

Are you talking adult racks for the snakes or juvenile racks? I don't know anthing about pictus geckos or pacman frogs.

I'd go with Blanket boxes for your larger snakes. Not sure about the frogs but if it is for breeding colonies of pictus I'd use sweater boxes. If individually housed or babies you could probably use shoe box size. I use shoe boxes for my young leos and fat tails and juvie snakes. Sweater boxes for my small to med. size adult snakes (hognoses) and blanket boxes for my bp and adult corns. But that is just me. Rubber maids are the best! You can drill few small holes for lots of humidity or lots of holes for great air flow.

I don't have the exact measurements as they are in the basement but if you really need them I can run down and measure them for you, but the sweater boxes I believe are somewhere around 11 lts. and the blankets are around 28 or 29 lts. Can't remember exactly. They are made by rubbermaid. I also have higher blanket boxes that have more arboreal area thant the 28-29 lts but a little less floor space. I use those for my bps and the long blankes for my corns. Hope that helps. Like I said I can measure them exact if you want, just don't have time to do it right now.

edit. Sorry I put 38 instead of 28 leters. lol
