Sounds perfect for a nice big tarantula!

Go on...you know you want to!

not so sure about spiders my mrs and babe are terrified of them

what are the gargoyles like, they need similar care to cresties dont they? are they also nocturnal ? i keep my gresties at room temp just a small 25w daytime bulb , if they require the same would be ideal as the mrs allready moaning about the rising cost of eleccy !

I'm sure the size of the viv is ok for a cham, but I would enquire about the ventilation. But dont hold me to that, I'm am no expert!

Not sure if this helps but our Cham's tank is 45(w)x60(l)x80(h), because obviously the height is the most important for them and we were advised this would be fine for him.

Your tank being that bit smaller might be ok to start one off in and see how you go maybe, have you got the scope to upgrade should you find you need to?

If not more cresties you can never have enough of those cute little things!!!!!

That size of tank would be perfect for pygmy chams and
Von Hohnels Chameleons as they are quite small
.

It wouldnt be big enough for like say larger chameleons eg veiled,jacksons etc unless babies then upgraded to something larger

i hadnt heard of them much before, but got myself a pair, and they are great geckos,
or maybe a tokay gecko,
