View Full Version : What would YOU put in this enclosure?

I just aquired this pretty new enclosure along with a stand and all the decor included for a very cheap price. I coudn't pass it up. I believe it's 18"x18"x18"

Problem is, I have nothing to put in it so I was wondering what would be suitable for life in this nice display enclosure (preferably no geckos).

Tarantula!

That's a thought. I always thought Rose Hairs were pretty but I'm more into scorpions. My boyfriend just got himself an Emperor and it's pretty neat. I was thinking more lizards and snakes though.

Plus my house mates might kill me if I brought a tarantula into the house :P

haha, t's are so cool! My boyfriend wants a scorpion, so I think i'm going to get him one for christmas. I love my pink toe....i'm even getting brave enough to try and hold her! i don't know of any lizards or snakes small enough to fit in there though...

Crocodile Skinks are pretty neat. Anyone keep them?

I keep croc skinks. That isn't really an ideal enclosure for them. I'd put dart frogs in there.

Can't say I have any interest in frogs (or any amphibian for that matter).

What's an ideal enclosure for a croc skink?

Green anoles, Bahaman anoles, maybe a house gecko. Personally though i' d put a long tail grass lizard in there... now those are super cooool and as cheap as it gets when it comes to reptiles. But Honestly u need to change that setup around. More branches, maybe a hidw , some hanging plants. You'd also need UV

I keep a pair in a 40 gallon.

What about a pair of Bibron's geckos?

I don't think 18x18x18 Would be enough for two bibrons. Just my opinion though. Bibrons are pretty active in the gecko world. Just my experience

The current set up in there is not the final set up. That's how it came to my house from the original owner. I still need to wash everything and throw out the substrate.

How many green anoles could comfortably fit in there?

True, true. What about Lygodactylus williamsi?

They're too delicate for me. lol

How about a midget?

Probably too hard to find one of those acclimated to being kept in a glass tank.



I was also looking into Giant Day Geckos even though I know I said I didn't want geckos. lol

I'd just end up feeding it to my tegu.

Could do millipedes. Or mourning geckos! Mourning geckos making noises - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipitpFW8I-M)

Tell me that's not the bloody cutest thing ever. They only get about 2.5-3.5 inches. And they're really social, so you can house a bunch in there and watch them interact.

I would consider a Crestie if I hadn't lost two to bad luck (or maybe they just hated me so much they commited suicide)

One passed away in a freak cold snap on Christmas Day and the other passed away literally 3 days after I brought it home.

Millipedes are terrifying. lol

Mourning geckos are so tiny... I'd be scared of accidentally squishing one doing cage maintenance.

It's not like I'd get bored of the animal and neglect it. It's not really impulse if I'm going to research the critter I'm putting in there.

It would be impulse if I received a suggestion and went and got it tomorrow without reading about what it was, how big it got, what it ate...etc.

I'd say you can keep a pair in there. Remember there are larger anoles. I'm talking about browns and greens. Get one of each! Very entertaining lizards imo

Nah 18x18x18 should be enough for the smaller species
Little Wise Owl
10-30-12, 12:17 PM
I'm thinking the enclosure might actually be bigger than 18x18x18. I'll get the actual measurements tonight. I think it might be 24"x24x24.

[QUOTE=Little Wise Owl;782072]I would consider a Crestie if I hadn't lost two to bad luck (or maybe they just hated me so much they commited suicide)

.I would give cresties at least 24" of height.

I didn't think I was going to get another one anyway.

Nope. lol

I think I might end up just giving it to my boyfriend for his T's or Scorps. I have too many ideas for it that I'm just overwhelming myself. lol
