Hi there I have a small problem.

Im shortly going to have one of my viv's spare and I was thinking of getting an aborial monitor.

The viv is 18"x15"x48" (LxDxH)

Is this going to be big enough for one?

Also Id like a tropical set up as its one thing I have not done yet!

Any suggetions?

(Sorry about spelling Im tired and the ol' grey matters given up for the night Rolling Eyes

)

Hi,
I can't think of an arboreal monitor that could live in something that size.

If anyone else has suggestions, please post...I may of forgotten a species??? Embarassed

Hmmm i dont think that viv has enough lenth or depth in conjuction with the hight to be suitable for any varanid species as it would have to be arborial and species of the prasinus group for example would need at least 4ft in viv lenth and at least 2ft in depth along with even more hight.

Sounds like a viv that might work well as a realy attractive gecko setup tho.

Thanks for that, Change of plan then.

What could I put in a viv of that size?

I recon a group of Racodactylus of some sort would be realy nice.

I thought about Rhacodactylus before. Thinking 1.4.

Is there anything else I could reseach?

There realy is various gecko species that could live in it. Day geckos. Palm geckos.......

Some arborial snakes perhaps?? Tho i dont know what species off the top of my head.
