Hi NATZOO,

I just want to give my own thoughts on enclosure size for the babies/juveniles (I`ll assume that`s what you would want).

I like to offer them something in the range of 4L x 2.5W x 3H (Feet). (120 x 75 x 90 cm). I feel that height gives you room for a decent depth of substrate, 12 plus inches (30plus cm), the length/width allows for a good temp gradient, and also means you`re not changing cages every couple of months, which is expensive for you, and somewhat stressful for the animal to be constantly rehoused(they grow so quickly under optimum conditions).

I agree totally about the basking spot being close to cover (excellent point by "ree".
