Mesh/Screen reptarium

z10silver Sep 18, 2003 03:00 PM

I have a 65 gallon screen reptarium, which I would like to house leopard geckos in. Is there a problem that it is screen? Can they get their claws caught in it?

hmm. they would be able to climb it so there is a chance that their claws could get stuck. But I would wonder about the humidity. I mean it might work. I figure if you can get the temps right and the humidity up why not try it. Just make sure that nothing can get into it. What would u use as substrate?

i have that same enclosure and i wouldnt use it,its a great enclosure for chameleons as they need constant air change,but as far as geckos i dont think it would work out but hey it might.....to trap humidity in the enclosure wrap 2-3 sides with plastic wrap,thats what i did and it worked out great

They WILL try to climp it. I have one gecko that manages to climb up and hang upside down a few moments from just a screen LID!
