    Cool i miss having garters (Hey)

    Hey guys ive not been a member on this forum for years but i miss having garters terribly and just wondered if i could get some advise

    Not sure what you'll all think but i have a 5ft by 1ft by 18inch, was thinking a nice group of garters could happily live in this?
    I've had it empty for quite a while and don't think i want to fill it with anything else really. Do you guys think it could be suitable?
    Also what do you think i should put in it?

    Thanks in advance guys
    Its been a very long time since I had any garters

    The depth and height aren't long enough for my liking. The 5 foot length is good, is the 18" the depth or height?

    Small species like butlers and northwesterns wouldn't mind the shallowness, and five feet would allow for a wonderful temperature and humidity gradient.

    I would think wider would be better and if you are going to use UTH could go taller and just use lighting to warm the ambient air temp....

    My first thought was to build a viv just like that... your exact dimensions... 5ft wide, 18" tall 1ft deep...

    I've decided when I do construct the new viv it would be:
    5 ft Long
    2 ft deep
    2 ft high

    You end up with a box that has 20 cubic feet of room... but I am only housing 2 so That should be plenty for me... Just my thoughts...
