 |
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am just about to get a Bosc. Does anyone think that 5foot (width) by 4 foot (deep) by 31/2foot (tall) tank is too small? it is going in the corner of my room and need it to fit so i can still have my bed in there as well lol. Or do you think it should be bigger, I will make two levels in the tank so the bosc will use all the room in there. As well as 2/3 hides and a decent basking spot.
i need to start building soon so please comment,
Thanks for all your replies

| Those dimensions will work but an extra FT on the width would be better. |

Though 5x5 would be even better, as one is 25sq feet, the other 24sq feet

True that would give you an extra square ft of floor space  , but with a 6x4 you will get a wider temp range for the animal to choose from . |

Hi.
personally i would make it twice as long as the length of the animal when adult. that would possibly be arond the 4 foot mark if male 3 foot plus if female. so 8'x4'x4' would be fairer to the animal. also provide a deep dirt/sand substrate.
regards. |
