Am in the planning stage of getting a gargoyle gecko. I keep reading suggested adult cage sizes ranging from 18"Wx18"Dx18"H up to 24"Wx18D"x24H". After shopping for snake cages, those sizes sound small to me, though gargoyles are, of course, small in comparison to my colubrids. So I have a couple questions.
- If space & price weren't an issue, what would be an optimum cage size for a gargoyle? Right now my planned cage size is 24"Wx24D"x24H", but I could go larger if that would be better. Ex. 24"Wx124D"x36H" or 36"Wx24D"x24H" or 36"Wx24D"x36H"
- Is there a reason, other than space & budget limitations, for the smaller sizes? Like, do gargoyles naturally have a limited range?
My currents two snakes are my first reptiles, so I've no real knowledge on any of this other than what I've read online, primarily care sheets. Side note, my sister is an avian zoo keeper & when I mentioned my interest in gargoyles she looked them up & got excited that they are from New Caledonia. She wants to visit there because of the birds. I let her know I'd love to do that trip. Though to be able to afford that, I'll have to quit purchasing reptiles & their accessories.
