What's good for this....

[B8709]

I've got a tank that is 31 inches long and 10 inches high. Would this be good for T. Blondi?

Id say the hieght might be an issue, depending on the size of your Blondi. If its over 10inches he might be able to reach the top and try to climb on the screen top and runs a possibilty of getting stuck in the screen. just my 2 cents.

Nobody said there was a screen top...

10" high for a 10" blondi is fine.

Might help us even more if you gave us the width, too.

Heh, good point. I completely overlooked that part.

 

[B8709]

Widith is same as height.

 

[that70sshow]

to cramed for blondi if the width is only 10 inches

 

[xhexdx]

Yep, not enough width.

You could probably get away with a parahybana or crawshayi if you want, but maybe something a little smaller than that would be more ideal.

Blondis need a ridiculous amount of space not to be stressed out (specially semi adults-adults WC)

I wouldnt go with anything under 15" wide. (for an adult)

 

[Talkenlate04]

I disagree that they need a ton of space to not be stressed.
I have my adult 9" female in a 20 gal and she never leaves her hide unless she wants some water. She just sits and eats like a garbage disposal, and grows. Never kicks her hairs off ether.

 

[paul fleming]

you need a very big tank for a blondi mate and if the height is too much.....it could climb,fall and kill itself.
One thing I do not understand,over here,blondi's are mega bucks so why are you scrimping on the size of the tank ?

She has been in that tank for 3 years. She has even made 3 dud sacs in that tank. She is very comfortable. She has been mated in that tank to and I am waiting on a sac now.

I got alot of spare tanks and was hoping that one would work since it's one of my bigger ones.

go for it then
Blondi's are not my thing.....they look like fat spiders with skinny legs to me.
But each their own.

Hence my comment on a sub adult - adult WC (Freshly imported)
If the t is been in that tank over several molts, or if she was raised there, then is another diff story. If not, she will climb and stress non stop (with 20G or smaller)

(In 14 years I have had hundreds of WC T blondi )

I was not having a go mate.....just staing a fact about tank height.

You could put a L.parahybana in that tank, they don't seem to need such huge enclosures.

My girl is WC.
Bought her at about 6" from an import. Never had a problem with her wandering or climbing. Maybe mine is special.
