I have a plastic enclosure that measures roughly 35cm tall by 28cm long by 19cm wide. its got a well ventilated lid and is fully sealable.
What could i put in there that could stay there its whole life?
A species of gecko? If so, how many of that species would live in there comfortably* and what heat or light requirements would they need (I live in the north western suburbs of Melbourne.)
Would i be right in assuming an arboreal species would be better to make use of all that height?
Thanks!
(*when i say comfortably i mean i dont want to just have the max i can fit i want them to be happy and not stressed) |

| | Regular Member | Join Date: May-07 Location: Melbourne Gender: | | | | i didnt think i could really get anything in it. but its just going to be thrown out otherwise so i thought i would at least see if anything can fit.
i wasnt being tight. as i said, if nothing fit comfortably in it (i.e above the minimum req.) then i wouldnt get anything.
edit: to add to that, i know next to nothing about geckos so i had no idea how much space they need.
is it so bad i thought i might be able to use an enclosure rather than throwing it out?

| | Regular Member | Join Date: May-07 Location: Melbourne Gender: | | | yeah im thinking against throwing it out now too as i realised it might be good for transport to/from the vet for my stimsoni.
i used to want to be a geologist so i had many a pet rock and i could name most types of rock in a lot of areas  im over rocks!
maybe its big enough for a mouse? | |
