[QUOTE="testdasi, post: 173497, member: 32655"] Note that generally terrestrial species don't really need specially built enclosures. Long time ago when space wasn't a concern, I used to have a 10" L. parahybana and 8" A. geniculata on display in aquatic glass tanks. Ahh the good time. So you probably can save some cost if these custom built stuff are too expensive. I found the special tanks (similar to Exo Terra kind) are only important for humidity-sensitive species and arboreal. The former is mainly for cross ventilation to reduce mold (a fish tank enclosure is likely to mold like crazy with wet substrate - been there, done that). The latter is for the front opening so you are less likely to destroy the webbing every feeding time. [/QUOTE]
