Default Front or Top Opening Vivs

Hi,

I am looking into buying a new Viv for my Pair of Leopard geckos and was just wondering whether everyone could help me out with a question.

I've noticed you can get glass vivs that open on both the top an dthe front and some just on the top. Are there any major reasons why you shouldn't just have a top opening viv? I have heard that its not a good idea because it simulates how predators would take lizards in the wild, what is everyones opinions on this, any help would be brilliant!!

Cheers,

Peter

front opening would be best, as top opening stresses the animals out, cos that is where their predators come from in the wild

Front glass vivs look alot better. Plus your reps can look out then. If they can't looko ut at anything it could stress your rep. I would stick with front glass vivs. Also if you wanted to stack your vivs up there would be noway to get to your leos.
