hi Kano,

I have used a large number of different boxes in AP racks.

Vision tubs are very good, theyll last forever. something i cannot say for rubber maid or sterilite. They are very heavy however and allow less light then most commercial boxes.

I do not think that the v18 is large enough despite having a good floor space. when you add in food dish, water dish, calcium dish and hide you rapidly eat up the space. when the height is only 3.5" many geckos will have a hard time getting into them. on top of that the 7" width is too narrow for any leopard over 90g IMHO.

the v18 most closely resembles a 6q box and not a 16q one.

on the subject of nepharus geckos, while i do not think there would be a major problem i would advise against doing it as height is going to severally limit the sand bed depth you can create. In my experience with geckos like delani, levis, and vertabrilis they need the deeper sand bed and take advantage of it.

so ya, go with 16q tubs and sorry if this is all jumbled up.
