Possible cage

[wylerr]

hey all,

Im looking to get either a garg or a crested at the upcoming expo on saturday and would like to know if this cage: http://www.pangeareptile.com/store/zilla-fresh-air-acrylic-atrium.html would be appropriate for either one.

Thanks

Sorry, for some reason it didn't post the link

First off, it really depends on how big the gecko is. How much it weighs, etc. If it's over 15 grams (give or take a gram or two), then it should work. If it's smaller, then you'd probably want to go with something smaller.

As long as the enclosure is made of glass/acrylic, it should be fine. The top being screen is great for ventilation. As for the bottom portion (under the door), you can always cover the screen with a piece of acrylic panelling or a piece of glass. So, in essences, I'd say it was fine for either a crested or gargoyle. Just make sure you give them plenty of things to climb on and plenty of foliage so they can hide in. Good luck with the new gecko, and please, post pics once you get one.

I hope that helps.

Looks like a great setup for a sub adult to grow up in. As Wulf said, it would be too large for a baby. The sides will scratch tho, so be careful what you put inside.

imo its a good size but id get a different cage due to havign two spots with screen it lets out a lot of humidty. I have one but im not a fan of it i am going to switch it out for a exo terra or a zoomed when i get the extra money to do so.

Looks fine to me. If you have trouble holding humidity, put something over some or most of the screen. If you end up with something too small for that enclosure, just keep it in a tub of some kind til it's big enough to move over. No need to buy two enclosures if the animal will eventually move into this one.

I have 6 of these and love them. They are the perfect size for adult cresties/gargs and have a good price. Humidity can be an issue, but I found just taping some plastic over the bottom front screen section solves it very well. I needed to do so anyways for a substrate barrier in the planted ones. For a baby I'd pick up a critter keeper and move it to the atrium once it's 15+ grams.

Thanks for all the answers guys. I already had a kritter keeper and I now have to use it. The package with the acrylic cage was delayed, but I went to the show anyway. Got myself a nice juvenile garg and he/she is chilling in her new keeper

Like the saying goes.. "pictures, or it didn't happen." Hahaha... just kidding. Though, I'd love to see a pic of your garg. Hopefully, it'll be the next species for me. Good luck with the new addition... and, be forewarned, if this is your first gecko you'll have at least three more in the next two to three months... maybe even less time then that. Hah!
