Where should I place my vents in my new viviarium? I was thinking one on the warm end about half way up and one on the cool end by the bottom. It is 40" by 30" by 29" LxWxH. Any suggestions??? Please answer the poll on what kind to put in the cage.

I would reverse the placements. The reason being warm air rises this would pronote a nice flow of air from the warm side out through the vent on the cool side

that last suggestion makes sense to me. If you put a low on the hot side, the "stale" cold air will leave (and vice-versa on the other side). If you do a high/hot and low/cold setup, the air won't really flow as well.

Look at it this way. With a high/cold and low/warm setup, the warm air will rise up and then have to move across the viv to leave (unless it goes out the top, but let's not complicate things...lol). Likewise, the cool air on the bottom will have to move across to the other side to leave. It'll give more of a circular motion for the air and your ventilation will be better.



If that's confusing, sorry, but hey it made sense in my head. :dancer:
 
I'm not quite sure what this poll is about. Is the question about ventilation: then I agree, one on the cool, one on the warm to give it a good cross draft. If it's about types of animals in the viv. 1 corn, not two of anything.....except maybe a beardie or the skinks or something. I don't house multiple corns together. Just my thing.
 
I think you have to choose the type of reptile you would like to look after as your first priority. Some of the reptiles you list above have very different care needs. Do you want to deal with insects? Do you want something that eats rodents? Do you want to have to prepare salads? Do you want to handle your reptile or just have it as a show-piece? Answer these questions for yourself, and you will narrow down your selection.
 
as to the ventilation - yes - vents on both the warm side and the cool side. Remember that if you choose a live-insect eating animal then you don't want the prey to be able to crawl out of the vents so they may need to be small enough, or they may need to be covered in wire mesh to prevent escape.
 
I want a rodent eater i guesse. I want one that will not hide all day and one that I can hold without getting my hand torn off. I think a redtail is my best option. Any one know where to get a enexspensive redtail or blood python?
 
Bearded Dragon. I'm not a fuzzy animal person (except for my cat, but she loves herps too) and my replacement for a dog is a breadred dragon. My top male, Spike, will come when I call him, sit on my shoulder for hours without moving, keep the insect # around my house down, and even falls asleep if you pet him in the right place. He'll even double as a guardian too. If I take him down to the local reptile shop with me, people will pet him all the time, and he'll let them. But if someone he doesn't know tries to touch me at all, he'll go into attack mode. I think its cute. He's never actually caught someone, but the threat is definitly there. Beardies are worth it, trust me.

And even a cb will rip your arm off. Bloods are agressive and defensive by nature...there's not much you can do about that.
 
What is an alternative to crickets for beardie food? I love beardies but just don't like the smell of crickets. Do meal worms smell as bad? Roaches? Wax worms? Any help???
