Hey guys, I've been thinking about getting a little one for myself. Now I know that unless I spend a small fortune I'm going to have to build an enclosure to hold an adult but everywhere I have read has said to grow them out in something smaller. I was out looking at my local reptile stores today and saw a 50 gallon breeder that looks like it could work for a little while, it's a zoo med "low boy".
I have two concerns for this cage though, the first being it's height. The tank is 48"x24" but only 10" tall. The second issue I see with it would be the access. It has two separate sliding screens on the top of the tank with no side access (who'd have thought a 10" tall tank wouldn't have side access). Wouldn't having only access from the top be stressful for any babies that would be housed in it? If these aren't really problems how long would a tank with that size footprint be able to house a little one?
Thank you for any help and advice in advance.
