    Question Any species suitable for 12x12x18 exo terra?

    I've got a 12x12x18 exo, and I may end up getting another one. The original intention was to house one of my arboreal tarantulas when they grow up... well... Microcosm is coming up so I was thinking of possibly getting a PFD...

    Are there a few species that will do well in a smaller enclosure, such as this one?

    Thanks!

    Sure!
    Some of the Thumbnail species (Ranitomeya). That could probably house a pair or trio of most of those species. Maybe a pair of R. imitators? Or a trio of R. ventrimaculatus or R. sirensis or a similar species.

    By the way, i'm extremely jealous that you're so close to Microcosm. I really wanted to go but I couldn't justify paying for a plane ticket just to go spend more money at a "frog show". Hahah

    Thanks for the info. I'll do some research into the ones you've listed.

    And yes, I am pretty fortunate to be living out here. It's a great place to be!

    Great links, thanks Lynn!

    I looked the various Ranitomeya and... wow! I was also pleasantly surprised to see that the photo of the month was a Ranitomeya variabilis! If by some chance I can find one of those I'll probably go that route. But all the imitators look incredible.
