im going to have a spare 36x24x24 inch viv soon so im thinking about putting a partition of conti board down the middle which will make two 18x24x24 vivs would a pair or trio of leos in one side and cresties in the other be ok ?
thanks martin

i think it would be to small for a trio of leos but fine for 2 females

Leos need floor space and not height so that size would be pretty pointless for the leo side.

Its a good size for the cresties but dont use contiboard to split. Because cresties need humidity so the conti will just start to rot after a few months.

Also how are you going to heat the leos? dont forget you need to keep the cresties cool especially in summer and i think by keeping them so close to the leos heat you are just asking for trouble. Id suggest creating two vivs that have similar environmental needs, rather than 2 that are totally different.
