The Bluetongue enlosure is a 5'x2' 20" high custom Oceanic aquarium. With Aspen bedding and spot cleaning it, it's very easy to maintain. Full spectrum lites over the entire cage and a hotspot and the adults only eat a few times a week,sometimes daily during peak activity time (babies every day),The adults eat nothing for weeks on end when they go down for a season prior to breeding.(I have always taken my q's from them).

Could you circumvent the daily water changes by going for one of those large Waterland tubs (I guess the one that's 2/3 land and 1/3 water?)and using one of those strong outdoor pond filters or one of those fish filters I see people just put in the water or is that unrealistic? I thought perhaps you can build a stand for it and wheel it over to the sink for easy cleaning. I can heat a large section of the land area with a heat pad( of course allowing a cool area.)Certainly fullspectrum lighting and a hot spot would be provided. I guess the 60* Winter nite time temp would not be easy even with a blue nite bulb on an unenclosed setup. Thanks for your input.Guess I may have to skip it if I can't do it well.
Bob.
