Cages are rarely cleaned... They are kept in natural set-ups... I add super worms (constand supply of insect prey) and isopods to the substrate... I use natural substrates that include oak leaves, oak leaf mulch, peat moss, coco fiber, organic topsoils, and sand... The substrate harbors good bacteria and a variety of other substrate insects... The waste the animals produce is quickly consumed... Cages have no smell, fungi, parasites or harmful bacterias... Soil samples were tested in a lab after many months of use...
Paul, we did indeed move them into an Animal Plastics cage...:main_thumbsup:
I'd say a bit bigger then the akies perhaps a bit more vertically oriented as fair as caging but knowing akies they would use the space too. another excelling 3 ft max varanid. perhaps a bit longer but whats a bit more tail.
