got what might seem an odd question, I'm considering going up to a reptile show this Sunday to get hold of a trio of crested geckos. now I had been planning on going on from the show to pick up stuff from an ebay auction (a 60by45by65cm vivarium, brand new, with background, locks fake plants, though obviously a 3foot one would be more preferable)) however the seller has gotten back to me saying that he wont be available.
this is a bit of a nuisance as I'm not likely to head that way again for sometime as I would combine the journey as it'd make it a round trip of 300 miles, as opposed to doing 200miles round trip for the show, and 300miles round trip for the vivarium. when I'd seen the locations I'd thought wonderful I'll do it in one trip.
however, obviously, if I can get a vivarium at the show for a good price then this post is somewhat redundant. however waht I've been wondering is both how long could I keep some hatchlings in a basic setup and what that basic setup should be (obviously I would then order an alternate vivarium that can be delivered)
I have several aquariums (currently have 9 fishtanks running) and have some 45by30by30 (10g) tanks that are currently empty. if I get some mesh would this be adequate until I get a proper vivarium setup for them .
one final thing, with regard water, I do have a carbon filter on the tap (inline) that does remove chloramine, however I use dechlorinator on all my tanks anyway (I use Seachem safe, which is about 25 times as strong as the rubbish they sell in Pets@home) (1/4tsp treats 240l of water) should I use some of the water that I give my fish to provide drinking/misting water for the geckos
