    What size?

    So I have several "spare" fish tanks. Simones current tank is a 15T, I've decided it's not got enough floor space. I have decided to not use the 55 for space reasons, but I have a 37T and a 25 I could use. Which would you use?

    I like the idea of building climbing space in the 37, but if she won't use it it's not realy worth it.. Unless I just wanted the hieght for decorating.

    A pic of her 15.

    My personal opinion is the more space the better. The more they get to interact with their enclosure the more comfortable they will be. If you have the space give it to them. The more things I can give them in their home the more content they seem. I've had to confine some for a short time and I can tell a real difference in their attitudes and eating habits. Mine are all climbers and seem to love it.

    They are exploring little creatures. Changing their hides and activity areas seem to really interest them. Mine love finding something new in the enclosure and are eager to explore it. Good luck and enjoy!

    When I brought my girl Spot out of the frig, I put her in with her babies for a visit. Every baby came out of the hide to get a smell of the new visitor. It was cool to watch them.

    Just another thought... some people have tipped the taller tanks on their sides using either the lid as the front or the back... but yeah, they really do enjoy climbing. Have fun!
