Reptile & Amphibian Forums

ok, so i just got some birthday money, so i spent it all on a 100 gallon reptarium, i spent the whole day with my g/f and other friend cleaning out my closet, and got the reptarium in there, i have a reptiglo 8.0 on it, hes really hyper, i don't really have anything for him to climb on yet, he just kinda zooms around the cage, i think imma drap rubber shelf liner along the sides and back to keep heat/humidity in, i'mstill trying to decide if i should just find a home for him, when i won him my mom got me under the impression that i would be allowed to keep him in the basement, but nope, turns out he needs to be kept in my room, do you thinkg he would be ok, (when full grown) if i just remodeled my closet into a cage the clost dimensions are about 5 foot long, 8 foot high and about 1-2 foot deep? thats the biggest i realyl could give him in dis room, i already have the beardie, leos, res, skink, and frog in here, lol , my room is soon to be azoo

Glad to see you got a bigger cage.. the only thing with reptairums is that people have said that they can block out some UVB and that when your igg gets bigger he will be able to tear right through it.. i have never used one.. but thats what i ahve heard.. just giving you a heads up..

Also that closet will not be bigg enough.. i belive the minimum is 6 feet long 6 feet high and 3 feet deep.. but i would go with something 8 feetlong at least 6 feet high and at leat 4 feet wide.. that way your igg has room to move around in his cage.. because a 6 foot long lizard wont be able to turn around ina cage that is 2 feet wide..

I would also pick up a Copy of Iguanas for Dummies by Melissa Kaplan... its a very good book that covers everything.
