Need something verty to put into 70L terras

[Cirith Ungol]

I got 2 75L terrariums made out of plexi (you can see them in my recent aquarium threads if you want to have a look).

I know plexi isn't an optimal material for this so my question is probably ultimately end up being answered with no huh?

But there we are.

What kinds of verts could go into such a terrarium?
Remember size, material (heat resistance), scratch resistance, if it needs a perch, wet environment (wouldn't be very good in those tanks) and so on.

Thanks!

well my first question would be can u fit or make a metal screen lid to fit the tank....if so u would be able to get away with alot of lizards like skinks and such. id stay away from like a Mali Uromastic due to heat requirements or beardies due to size (being a 75L im guess its only 12" in width) but as i said skinks and or small monitor (Australian Ridge tail comes to mind) would be pretty badarse in there.

What are the dimensions?
I *think* a crestie might work in there, but I'm not sure. I don't have cresties.

Have you seen them? Have you beheld the diamond shape?
The back sides are 50x50cm height 35cm.

Would the height be enough? How large do they actually get?

I don't think that is enough height, they get up to 8 inches or so including the tail. What about anoles or house geckos? Or some smaller geckos like viper geckos? And I think some of the day geckos stay pretty small. Lygodactylus williamsi is really cool too.

Or how about frogs? Lots of frog species that stay fairly small I think.

It's best with an animal... or several that do very well in dry air. I've had toads for a while but they never really thrived.

Some small reptiles with legs would be awesome! I'll check out your suggestions!

Think that something that gets 4-5in would be too large?
Lygodactylus williamsi are very beautiful!

Yeah, I saw them, but I need dimension. SI would have been better, but metrics OK.

Viper geckos would work from a space perspective (that might actually be too big)--but they need heat pads, and are hard to find and probably pricey to boot. Unless something's changed in the last few years.

Definitely not enough room for cresties. Might do for anoles or house geckos though.
House geckos I know need a highish humidity, so I don't know if that would work for plexi.


What's your opinion on rodents? That might be enough for a mouse?

 

[Cirith Ungol]

I'm glad there are options then! Thanks!!

Don't take my word on anoles or house geckos. I've never had them.
They were just ideas.

Also---buunnnnnnyyy!!!

Yaay! Cram it in there I will and teach it ways of the Force!

You could go out and catch some native lizards.

If there were any here, it'd be easier for me to catch myself a bear or a wolf... or a bunny.

I just meant I like your avatar because it's an adorable, snuggly baby bunny.
I don't think a bunny would be a good idea in that tank though. You knew that already though I think.
And yeah, not many reptiles in..Sweden? :? I know you're in Scandinavia, and I'm almost 90% sure it was Sweden.

No, don't worry.
Sweden is correct, the north at that, like the scrappy north, where the last snow will disappear some weeks before mid summer.

Man, I thought we had it bad in Michigan.

Pygmy chameleons of some sort. I have a small group of R. brevicaudatus in a similar size enclosure. It would need a screen top.
