HELP!!!

Is 73 CM to short in length for a marginated hatchling as a cage??
I have added a pic of the plastic container I might get if its big enough.Its 73 cm length 33 cm width and 16 height

Personally, I find it too small. But the biggest issue is the height of that particular model. You'll need to provide at least 10cm of substate, which leaves you with 6cm of depth. Imho, that's not safe. You want at least 30cm.

Here are some good ones:

Thanks but the links aren't working. Are they American sites. I live in England. What should I type up on the Internet to find them???

PS: Length and width wise, the pink container should be suitable for the first 3-4 months, as they don't move a whole lot. Eventually, you'd like to provide your margy with an indoor enclosure of at least 150cm x 250cm x 60-70cm (substrate depth will need to increase, as they get to full size).

Here are some pictures...

I live in Canada. We usually get them from hardware stores or Walmart. You might find good ones at IKEA, too.

I might just go with the expensive option. It is very big.

I can not tell from picture but make sure the bulb is not one like this:

Or this:

They cause eye issues and other health problems

In your photo it is the compact on the lost it says the bulb I will get is the combination.Are they different?

You need a linear tube. These ones are safe:
