correct me if i am wrong i am still very inexperanced when it comes to keeping a monitor but does hight really matter when building an enclosure for a sav? i see alot of people building 6x3x3 wouldent a 6x4x2 do just fine you could still have a sub of about 13"of sub on one side 8" on the low side with the lights being lower in the enclosure wouldent it be easier to regulate temp? i dont know just some thought i would like to build the best i can so any feed back would be nice

thanks dustin

floor space is most important to a terrestrial animal. Then second comes the hieght. Of course you don't want to make it so short that you cannot add bulbs, etc. without it being to close to the animal. So some common sense needs to be used.
