lost mine a few months ago,really upset me she was 4,said thats it no more,but now i am moving to a better home with more space and better heating,now the only thing i am not sure about is do i build a 8 x 4 x 4 or start with a smaller one,and any ideas how to lay it out would be helpful

how big is the iggy

just asking due to if it is a baby and you build a viv that big and stick him/her in their then it might not be able to find it's food easy etc etc

but if it is an adult then big as poss would be best.

if baby i would build a viv or buy as he/she gets bigger if that makes sense to you.

think popular opinion on here is build as big as you can,that way it saves moving and stressing but cant say for sure ive only got a 2ft tank and a leo! but it makes sense if youve got the space id go for the big one straight away,tho the finding food is a valid point but im sure someone will advise you soon

 

[dinofred1]

good point,mind you my last one used to like to be fed,i think i have a 2 foot cage in the shed,so could start it off in there,any ideas what to put in it last one never looked good

 

[dinofred1]

good point about the food but could put spread 2 or 3 dishs around the cage and let it pick its own feading spot

i think start big,they will find food if hungry,prob even good exercise,and like you said could do several bowls about,but in the wild they would search so id go for the big viv get it how you want it and you wont need to mess about changing things

 

[dinofred1]

yea think i will go for the big one,just have to look round for ideas of setup

 

[BADGERS MUM]

look on the lizard pics pages,or go back on some of these posts,someone asked for ideas a few days back and someone posted the most wonderful stack of vivs really good ideas,hope that helps
