4'X2'X4' to fill - Page 2

I'd put a single ackie in a 4x4x4 as a raise up enclosure. I always like to use this formula for my monitor enclosures for minimum sizes: The length of the enclosure should be three times the length of the monitor. The depth of the enclosue should be twice the length of the monitor.

Let's see, I've suggested uromastyx. You can do corn snakes or Kenyan sand boas, although most keepers don't recommend keeping snakes in pairs. You can do a few frogs or salamanders.

As the ackie we had was about 14 inches long then 4foot wide by 2foot deep by 2foot high fits this formula

The last ackies I had were a bit bigger. Actually, almost double that size.

I have read tons on Varanus Acanthurus and I see them being average of 12-18" and not much larger at all. The people I know that keep them have 10 and all of them are around 14-15".

BarelyBreathing · 01-25-12, 02:12 PM

Mine were 21 and 23"

brooklynboy521 · 01-25-12, 02:24 PM

It is 4 foot wide, 2 feet deep, and 4 foot tall.

brooklynboy521 · 01-25-12, 02:26 PM

And again, any non monitor suggestions? I don't keep colubrids so corn snakes are not an option and I am not going to put a sand boa in a four foot tall enclosure thats just a waste.

What about a EBT or GTP?

youngster · 01-25-12, 03:23 PM

Or ATB.

Why no colubrids? You could put a few garters in there. They would use the height I think.

SnakeyJay · 01-25-12, 03:50 PM

I don't know if it would fit but what about a small carpet?

brooklynboy521 · 01-25-12, 06:39 PM

I already have two carpets and a GTP. I was thinking about the amazon tree boas. But don't know yet if I want to get them. And honestly there is only one species of colubrid I would get and thats mangrove snakes.

I was thinking about a pair of leachianus. Do you think that thats a good idea?

BarelyBreathing · 01-25-12, 07:43 PM

Leachies would be awesome!

brooklynboy521 · 01-25-12, 08:12 PM

I think I may go with a pair of leachies. I don't know too much about geckos though. I have leopard geckos but thats about it lol. I have to do a lot of research first. Suggestions are still welcomed.

You could always try a midget.
