Terrarium size for 2 WTF?

[privet01]

I don't know anything about WTF's.

IMO, consider the plants you want in it. In most cases the taller the viv, the more choice of plants you have. That does present an issue for basking spots though as the taller the viv the further top mounted lighting will be from the "ground" level.

A 24'' Tall tank definately! I'd go for height rather than width because they love to climb. Especially if you want to put a false bottom in you'd need 24''.

I solved the problem of basking spots by putting a magnetic ledge below the heat emitter.

Thanks!
I will plan on getting at least an 18w x 18d x 24" tall cage then.. The one I have now that is that dimension looks great and has room for several large pieces of wood to climb on and taller plants in the back.

The 18x18x24" will be fine for two but I would go larger for a bio-active tank. You don't need CHE as a drop at night is best, just a small spotlight or incandescent bulb during the day. They should ideally be provided with a basking area

Jason- Thanks! I have several CHE and red "heat bulbs" on hand all are in metal domes with rheostats / dimmers. I am leaning towards at least a 24"w x 18" d x 24"t if I can find it or a 36" long with the same height / depth... I *might* look into adding a fogger too and that would need a lot more floor space. It will depend on what I can find locally as I doubt a terrarium that size would survive shipping. I've gotten an 18x18x24 shipped in the mail and it arrived OK, but not sure on the larger ones.

I would say the 24 x 18 x 24" would be ideal, if the courier delivers it on a palate and well wrapped it should be fine. Try and find somewhere that will ensure it arrives 100% or will replace it. You could also get one ordered into a local pet store

Thanks for your help! I will update you guys once I acquire their terrarium. I have them setup in a tub that is about 24" x 18" x 18" for now, so hopefully they will be happy in there until I get get their final home setup and ready to go.
