[QUOTE="dreamscape, post: 17624, member: 1024"] Hello all! Newbie here, This week i am picking up a Chilean Rose T but before I do... I have a few questions... First up, I'm planning to use an old fish tank we have here its 10 inches in depth and 19 inches wide. The top has a hole in and comes off easily which i will obviously fix to avoid my new friend escaping... Is this enclosure big enough? I read online that it needs to be twice the size in leg span in width for a rose... I just wanted to confirm this size will be ok though... Here are some images: [IMG]http://www.ridgedpixel.co.uk/jason/projects/rose/1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ridgedpixel.co.uk/jason/projects/rose/2.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.ridgedpixel.co.uk/jason/projects/rose/3.jpg[/IMG] Its a tall tank and I'm aware of falling injury's so i plan to fill half of it with substrate (maybe even 3 quarters??) to avoid my T hurting itself should it fall... This brings me to my next question: What substrate should i use with this type of T? Here's a picture of him/her which i took at the store shes in at the moment... [IMG]http://www.ridgedpixel.co.uk/jason/projects/rose/4.jpg[/IMG] If anyone can tell me how old this T might be or if its male or female that would be a big help. It's only £20 ($32) which i think is pretty damn cheap for a T? or is it? Cheers for any help/advice so far!
