You'll need it at least 4' feet tall. at 2 feet even the smallest gator could get out. I'd do 4' tall from the highest point inside the cage. Also, you'll probably need 2 canister filters depending on how many gallons. I use a fluval 404 on just 50 gallons and thats as large as it can handle. When i go more than 50 gallons I'll use 2 fluval 404s bc just my one right needs to be cleaned every 2 weeks or so. Esp during the summer when my caiman is eating alot.



That cage will rpolly be good to up to about 4' gator. Prolly 3 years or less.



Good luck





>>Sounds like a great setup. I am working on a 6'X6' "terrarium of sorts, and looking into the Tetra canister pond filters, but i am just not sure quite yet on the specifics, so I am asking lots of questions on that sort of thing. This will house my AA for the next 2-7 years of his life, depending on his growth.
