Couple of weird shaped vivs?

So are either of the vivs suitable

My viv is 2ft wide, 1.5 deep and 3ft high. Its ND Aquatics wooden but I put a bit of those stiff blue builders plastic on bottom then orchid bark mixed with eco earth. I spray this every two or three days to keep a little humidity as my flat is so dry and what with other vivs and ceramic inside its very dry and their shedding has improved.

They are both around 3yrs old, male and female and I would say its the smallest I would advise. They do stretch their bodies down the branches from top to bottom but soon I think it would be fair to get something larger.

A log over mat on floor is normaly used before shedding or after food, they both squeeze in one big bowl so normaly it means the waters pushed out! Hence plastic sheet. Next one I will line with perspex.

Mine are fantastic temperament. Most carpets climb trees etc in wild to hide mine have space on floor but rarely use it.

Hope it helps.

You could get a Mangrove!

So yes you could use them for young CPs. Humidity is something overlooked quite often and iv learned my lesson there. Every set up and household is different so at minimum supply a bowl big enough to soak in. May not be what most do but worked for me. I got told it's not good for my boa's and Pythons to soak in a bowl but they choose to do it themselves and they are all fit and well.
