Enclosure help

[Epsilon5]

A couple of day ago I lost my pet bearded dragon to old age and I’ve been left with a fairly large terrarium (4 foot long, 2 food wide and 5ft tall), instead of getting rid of the terrarium I’m wondering if there are any modifications anybody can suggest in order to allow a Salmon Pink Bird-eater to safely live inside of it without the risk of falls.

5 feet tall? That would be a lot of filler as you don’t want more than 1.5x the DLS of your spider from substrate to lid.

Yea it’s not ideal, I’m wondering if there’s any way of simply stopping her from climbing past a point or even dividing the tank somehow.

Need more information, maybe a picture?
Maybe Convert it into a Containment for Several Species each in They're own seperate enclosures?
Not that complicated.
A couple shelves and You're Golden.
This would also add more security against escapes.
And Keep All of Your New Friends in one area.
Once You keep One creature... there will be more.
By the way,
Sorry about the loss of your Pet Dragon

May possible? Gonna depend on how crafty and open you are do doing some pretty complicated diy.... can you lay it on it's back?

I’m not exactly the best at diy but I could give it a shot, i don’t think I could place it on its back though as it’s quite heavy and I don’t trust the connections holding the glass panels together.

That seems pretty immense even for the largest tree spiders.

 

[goofyGoober99]

Yeah idk the dimensions on that thing are wild.... I think easiest option would be putting it on its back, adding a solid watertight divider in the middle and having two top opening enclosures? I don't think it would be possible to make a terrestrial enclosure with it standing. It's just way to tall.

A couple boards a few screws or nails, piece of cake... instant shelving.
lol
Or None of the Above...

 

[goofyGoober99]

A couple boards a few screws or nails, no complications.

My perfectionist brain is incapable of simple solutions . I must overcomplicate!

You could sell it and buy a lot of tarantulas??

My Condolence's to You for your loss.
Be comforted in that your Pet Bearded Dragon had a relatively long life.

Maybe if you could get closer to retail value out of it. But shipping is really expensive for Ts . I couldn’t sell a 10 gallon cage if I had to. I’m terrible selling stuff. I would just keep it if they’re getting another dragon.

I would just keep it if they’re getting another dragon.

"Black Dragon" aka "Asian Water Monitor" aka Varanus Salvator aka Awesome! $2,000 to $3,000
Second only to Komodo Dragon. Imho

ill have to see about getting a divider of some kind and trying to fix it slightly higher in the terrarium, i managed to get it on its back but the doors are sliding and require their weight to hold them in their slots so doing that might be an issue.

Get a reptile

20 gallon long is the biggest cage I’ve ever housed any tarantula. I no longer have the shelve space it’s not being used.

That's just huge for a spider. It would be a great size for a Leachie, though! That's probably where i'd go, or a big arboreal snake.
