Short-term enclosure?

Postby edwintheskink » Sat Nov 06, 2021 6:34 am

Hello,

I live in an apartment with my BTS who is in a 75-gallon enclosure. In a month, I have to move out of my apartment for about 2 months. I am leaving all of my stuff at the apartment. I do not really want to drag my guy's whole enclosure with me as It does not disassemble and is somewhat fragile.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a temporary enclosure? Should I just get a 40-gallon tank? Or should I use something like a giant Rubbermaid container?

Thanks!

A giant rubbermaid container might work, and would be much cheaper than getting a 40gal enclosure.

I have used plastic containers as temporaries many times while waiting for new enclosures to be built. I've got a big walmart tub that a 40 gallon screen fits perfectly on top of. It was probably less than 20 bucks but that was a long time ago and prices today are no joke.
