Message: <blockquote data-quote="DVirginiana" data-source="post: 34222" data-attributes="member: 3320">I've been reading a lot of T caresheets (my local repticon is in a couple weeks, and I know of at least two vendors that should be selling T's there) and one thing that keeps coming up is fall danger.  My rosea's enclosure is about as tall as her legspan, so she can hang out on the wall but she could never fall more than her own body length.  My question is how tall are your typical terrestrial enclosures, and how likely is a random fall?   I'm not really interested in getting anything arboreal atm, but some of the species I've been looking at (G. pulchra, B. smithi, and G. pulchripes) are a bit more hefty than my rosea, so I'm thinking that extra size makes a fall even more risky...</blockquote>
