Advice if it is apropriate this dimencions leopard

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

A plastic box with this dimensions 40 centimeters length 34 centimeters width and 17,5 centimeters high (i think it is 24 gallons) is appropriate for only one leopard gecko to live in without health problems?

If you are correct about the dimensions being in cm then it would be about 24 litres not gallons. The most important thing is floor space and most people would say that minimum for 1 leo is 24" x 12" in floor space. So that would be on the small side IMO. But I don't house my leos in a rack so there my be different opinions on that.

I use 15qt tubs in my rack. The dimensions on them are... 18"x12"x6". I never understood the 10gal rule, when many breeders keep their geckos in a 15qt (obviously only 1 gecko in each). Some even keep them in a 12qt.

It all goes back to just because it CAN be done, doesn't make it the best thing to do for the animal. Following minimum specs for raising an animal (any animal) does not equate to a happy and/or healthy animal. It simply equates to the minimum requirement for keeping it alive and able to breed.

Thanks for all your answers before i say you additional details i must say that i get confused with the north american count system (inch).

So i will say now correct all the dimensions that are on the boxes like you see the box each dimension is exactly under the other as i have write them here :

cm 37,8 L x 39,6 P x 18,5 H

14,9" L x 15,6" W x 7,3" H

Capasity
Lt.23

(the L is Length the P i do not now i guess width the W is width and H is High)

here is the link if you want to see it ---->Terry - Light Box L

23 liters is equal to about 24 quarts. And 14.9" x 15.6" is a bigger footprint than a ten gallon tank. So you should be fine for a single leopard gecko with that.

Sure ???!!!!!:yahoo: i do not want them to feel unhappy!!

The same here as the AFTs

Product dimensions in two count systems (meters-liters) + (inches-gallons)


Assembled size
Width: 79 cm<=>Width: 31 "
Depth: 57 cm<=>Depth: 22 ½ "
Height: 18 cm<=>Height: 7 "
Volume: 55 litres<=>15 gallon

If you ever need to do enclosure calculations I found a website that will allow you to input the numbers and it will give you all the capacities. Does it in both inches and cm. Great for quick reference and for people like me who are useless at math.

Aquarium Volume Calculator (W.C.S. Ltd.)

google will do pretty much every conversion there is. Just type it into the search box.
give these examples a try:
30 cm to inches
10 degrees c to f
20 liters to gallons

The following pictures shows the lid from the box.The picture with the black dots on the lid (imagine that the black dots are the airways and are already create on the lid but in reality not) are appropriate for airways ? Note that I want to avoid to make holes on the box for future use.

Normal


Airways

 

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

Any advice if this airways are the best ??????

 

[Riverside Reptiles]

I would do less hole but make them bigger (which equals a lot less work). It's not like the leos are going to somehow crawl up and squeeze through the holes.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Rex]

This holes are ok now ?



please see and the AFTs if the holes are ok !! ---->http://www.geckosunlimited.com/community/african-fat-tailed-geckos-other-hemitheconyx/45948-advice-if-apropriate-dimencions-aft-new-post.html

Why not just cut big squares out of the top and glue screen down? Then you'll be able to see inside the box without opening? Kind of like your first picture, but with screen instead of drilling all those holes? The holes will work fine though if that's what you want to do. You just want to make sure that there's enough airflow that it doesn't become too humid for the leos.

Please can you explain what do you mean with the "screen down" and "with screen"?
The box it has very good visibility !!
Yes i want enough airflow!!

 

[Riverside Reptiles]

I just mean cut big hole and glue screen over the big holes. Like what you have in the first picture. But cut out the entire section and glue screen in. Again, you can do it any way you like so long as the end result is enough airflow. Your original picture would work just fine if you feel like drilling all of those holes.
