what should i get?

[Morgangray]

So i have this 2ft high, 2ft long 1ft wide tank.
And i need another/few more critters for my collection.
What do you guys think i should get?
Cost included would be handy

 

[mrsshep77]

My little maccie is in a tank that big and she would be happy there for the rest of her life!
Anterasia Maculosa (spotted python) - $250 (but have noticed can vary between $180-300)!

Good Luck

 

[Morgangray]

really? in a tank that size?
I have a stimsons already.
Is care relitively the same?
The tank is a jungle set up is this ok?

 

[Morgangray]

I was also thinking maybe some gecks, but i know nothing about them

haha

 

[sweethips12]

gekos or something small that likes to climb sounds good for that tank, but same as Morgangray i dont know anything about them either.

 

[Morgangray]

Any help from loving gecko keepers on types and cost or anything would be LOOOOOOVED

 

[sweethips12]

do you get reptiles australia? there is a great article in the lastest one about thick tales gekos. that might be helpful?

 

[bredli84]

some sort of arboreal gecko would love a tank like that probably.

 

[Morgangray]

whats some breeds, i will go researching

 

[Morgangray]

any suggestion still to come?

 

[Morgangray]

anyone know the names of aboreal geckos?

 

[Chrisreptile]

try the marbled velvet gecko's (oedura marmorata).
they love to climb and are easy to keep.
price- $140-for a hatchy, to $300 for a nice adult.

 

[Morgangray]

requirements?
How many do you think i could fit in my tank
(Measurements above)

 

[Chrisreptile]

ok, they require heat, i use a heat mat under half the enclosure.
white washed river sand as a substrate.
lots of places to hide.

you could easily house 2 or 3 hatchys in there.
i have 2 in a standard 2x14 tank with a mesh lid and they are going really good.
i got them from ari, he is really good to deal with, give him a pm and he might be able to help you.

 

[Morgangray]

how big do they grow?

 

[Chrisreptile]

about 18 cm, or a little bit bigger.

 

[Chrisreptile]

heres one of my juvies.he was shedding.

 

[Morgangray]

OH!
Very cute!
Will look into these little guys
Thanks for all the help!
Do they climb much, like on vines?

 

[Chrisreptile]

yep they climb up vertically on the glass then walk upside down of the mesh lid.
yep, i have logs and branches and some suction cup silk plants(stuck to the glass) and they climb all over them.
