- Agreed. For anything that fits in a 55 gallon or smaller tank, an aquarium
- is the easiest solution (and possibly the cheapest if you include your time
- in building your own cage). For animals needing space larger than a 55
- gallon tank, it probably is best to custom build a wood cage. As mentioned
- by others, big tanks tend to be too skinny (front to back) and too high
- They are also hard to maintain decent air tempuratures at night.
-
- Unless you're a good wood worker, a glass aqaurium problably makes a
- better looking display setup.
-
- For larger number of reptiles custom built wall units probably make the
- best long term solution. And while you are at it you might as well
- add a separate reptile room onto your house....
