No! Hermit crabs need a MINUMUM of 10 gallons, and need deep substrate. Ur better of getting a 10 gallon tank. But this is good for traveling.

I got the largest one for my 5 hermit crabs and I think it was a little bit too small I couldn't really see through it very well. I wanted to see them climb. I would recommend getting a ten gallon aquarium. That works the best for hemies.

Short answer, no. Not if you intend this as it's permanent home. This may be used as a temporary cage for holding but not recommended permanently. Painted turtles should have a pool in which to swim in and a structure to dry off sunbathe and rest on.

You "could" if you absolutely can't wait to buy a gecko and you know you'll get a bigger enclosure. Obviously the sooner you get that enclosure the better, and it's recommended that you buy the enclosure first or during the purchase of your gecko. 2 weeks I'm sure it could handle that if really necessary.

Depends on how many crickets you plan on keeping in it. If say you take a few dozen crickets they should all fit just fine. Just remember they should have some structure like an egg carton piece and they'll also need food if being kept over a long period of time.

answer 2
It depends on what size crickets you would be holding. If they are small ones sure, but if you are doing large crickets go with the next size up so they aren't piled on top of one another. I have 2 medium sized that hold 2 baby cresteds and the other holds both size crickets comfortably. The largest one is holding 4 baby gargoyles with plenty of room.

It should be unless you temporarily have a large constrictor in it or escape artist. The main concern would be the large top door which must be slid back to be pulled open. But generally I would think this would hold just about any snake unless it's too big.

Short answer, yes, but depending on how big it gets you may or may not need to consider getting a larger / different setup in the future. Should be fine, I would think for it's entire or at least majority of life.
