Thanks,
Just out of curiosity, for those of you who keep your alterna in display setups rather than rack systems, what size enclosures do you use? Do you prefer glass aquariums, or wood framed front loading cages, or do you just use whatever you have available?
I'm asking because I'm planning on making a similar rock cut for a larger permanent enclosure for my GBK, and I want to make sure she has enough space. In the past, I've always tried to maximize the floor area of the enclosure. Now, she seems to spend most of her time climbing on the vertical surface of the rock cut, so I'm considering something that is taller but not as deep front to back. Aquariums are a pain in many respects, so I'm thinking of building a front loader from scratch out of wood, so I can choose whatever dimensions I want. I'm thinking 24-30"Lx16"Wx24"Tall, which would make it slightly deeper and taller than a 29 gallon aquarium. Given the increase in usable space provided by the rock cut, I would think this is plenty big for an adult alterna, but I would appreciate any input.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
