Hi there:

At a local pet store, I saw an amazing eye-catching device for sale. I am planning to go out and by it tomorrow, but first I want to hear your opinions. Is it a good buy? It was a 50-gallon glass orb on a three-legged stand. It came with a UVB strip, and a UVA basking light strip. It had a drainage hole in the bottom, with pea gravel, charcoal, vivarium planting mix and assorted mosses. It was set up with grapewood and cork, beautiful tropical plants, and a small waterfall with a rock pool on the bottom. It also came with a cordless ultrasonic fogger and rockwork. It had been purchased at a show, and comes with its award pinned on the front. It costs $215 dollars. Is that a good deal. I'm going to buy it.

you are so llucky.It would be great for some dart frogs/tree frogs.

Hi there:

Thanks. I have decided to drive out early tomorrow morning to purchase it. I do not know what to put in it just yet. I am NOT planning to mix all of the following, but possibilities include:

Dwarf Peacock day geckos
Juvinille rough green snake
California newt
Western rift chameleons
Green and brown Anoles
Green tree frogs

I own ALL of these. I am thinking of getting a female day gecko to breed with the male, because he is a former succesful breeder. I may also get a long-tailed grass lizard, some more toadlets or a Narrow-mouthed toad with my leftover money.
