When you purchase a living creature you are directly assuming responsibility for this living thing's life. That means putting your own wants after what is best for them. If you have the space and the means then there is no reason to use a split enclosure, save for your aesthetic pleasure. In fact, you even admitted it yourself that you wanted something 'cool.'Maybe you're thinking 'yeah but if I do it correctly the risk is practically nominal' and again, I respond with you're forcing a living creature into something less than ideal and putting them at risk no matter how nominal because it is what you want, not what is best.</blockquote>
