Gtp enclosure

[rebel_logan_24]

so i am looking to buy a gtp in the next year or so and i want to be fully prepared before i even get one picked out. i have done all my research and i know the best size enclosure for an adult it a 2'x2'x2'. i recently remodeld an old retail showcase into two tanks one for my beardie and the other for my carpet. i have left over wood and materials and i was wondering if i could use wood if it was sealed? i sealed it for my carpet and it has worked great since about december so far.
i really cant afford to spend more than $100-$150 for a pvc or acrylic enclosure so thats pretty much out, although i do love the look of them.
my last question is if i was to get a neo or juvi would they be ok in a 12x12x18" exo terra?
thanks for all the help, Logan

So long as you can maintain proper husbandry (humidity especially) the neonate will be fine in a smaller tank. You could also use a sterilite tote with some perches and holes drilled

I wouldnt say the"best" size is 2x2x2, they can live in one that size but personal,y i think bigger is better.

My GTP is in a 4x2x2 foot viv and uses every inch of it.

I agree with Lankyrob, 2x2x2 is not an ideal size in my opinion, my yearling use a similar size and I feel he doesn't have enough room to fool around. They are very active after light out and do need a bigger space to wonder around.

Wood will hold your humidity, just make sure to seal it thoroughly on every side. (Even the exterior sides). Do not use anything pressure treated.

thanks for the replys i will be looking into building a wooden one that is about a 4x2x2 or possibly saving up and buying a pvc/acrylic. or who knows i may find some kind of fairly cheap used tv stand to make into an enclosure about that size.
thanks Logan
