A few Questions

[drewlowe]

Hi all

I've been doing bit & pieces of research on etb's for a few months and I'm still going to do research for at least 1 or 2 years(minimum). I've decied on the basin etb. Which i have tons of info printed and stored in a binder for later use. I want to try to have a close to perfect setup( i know there's no such thing as perfect but i want it to be as close as i can.)

I just bought i nice size display case this weekend that i'm going to be storing at my moms until i move out and why i'm fixing it into the requirement of what i'm going to put in there(hopefully an etb). The thing is i hear that if you give them to much space you can stress them out. That's what i'm worried about. The measurements are 5 1/2 feet tall x 5 1/2 feet long x 2 1/2 feet wide. All 4 sides are plexi glass and the bottom and top is wood(i plan on treating the wood and adding side vents). Would this be too big? Or if i decied to get 2 etb's would it be possible to place a piece of plexi-glass in the middle of the cage (as a partition)with or with out vents. Or would this bother the etb's from seeing each other.

I also want to purchase them when they are babies or juvies would it be ok to place them into an enclosure this big to begin with or should i have a custom built one (smaller) until they become adults.

Maybe i should have placed this in the enclosure forum but I want to try to build it to the specifics of an etb and i figured this was the best place to put it. Thanks for any help. There will probly be more questions later on. Thanks again.
