3lx2wx4h okay for a single Corucia zebrata ?

Tigergenesis Nov 24, 2004 11:31 AM

I keep reading very different cage size recommendations on all the sites I find - plus a lot of them only give the cage sizes for a pair or more, but don't mention what size for a single adult.

Thanks!

THat would probably be a sufficient size for one, or even a pair, granted there is room to climb. As long as you have plenty of branches, shelves, ramps, etc. for your PTS, that would be a good sized cage. I am sure you have done your reserch, but just to be safe, make sure the cage can hold the proper humidity and temperature. Josh

Thank you. I'm certainly trying to do all the research that I can. It's been a bit difficult finding info on the web, but I just ordered 2 books that I hope may also be of help.

I'm hoping to have a custom cage built by next years NARBC shows where I would like to be find a nice PTS to put in it.

Check out Corucia enclosure types pros and cons further down this form.

However you arrange it, make sure the enclosure has the largest component being vertical.

Good luck,
Tane
