Before I even got Sam (my BD) I had asked if reptariums were good to use and no one said it was ok so I didnt get one. Sam is in a 30 gallon terrarium and I bought a 60 gallon terrarium for his permanent home. I am going to sell the 60 gallon and buy a reptarium. Reptariums are about $40 cheaper for a bigger size and I could really use that extra $40. I am planning on getting thin plexiglass and putting it around the bottom 5" of the reptarium so the crickets/Sam cant climb up the mesh. I am going to get a softray also and those are 5-6" high. First of all is there a way to attach the plexiglass to the mesh? If not is there something similar that I can do? I plan on having sand (about 4-5" deep) in half of the enclosure and shelfliner on the other half. I plan on getting either a 65 or 100 gallon reptarium. I would like to get the 100 but really dont have the room for it. Will a 65 gallon be big enough for an adult male? A 65 is 30" X 28" X 16.5" (W X L X H). Is that big enough? The 100 is 48" X 30" X 16.5" and I really dont have that much room. If the 65 is too small then I guess I will just have to make room for the 100. Also I live in Phoenix, AZ so it is pretty warm here so heat wont be a problem. My room is also the hottest in the house so I wont have to worry about it not getting hot enough with all the mesh. Thanks

ps I put a link to Sam's enclosure. Sorry the glass looks so dirty. It was a water turtle's tank a long time ago and that stuff wont come off (It was very thouroughly cleaned dont worry).
