Tank toppers

[keegen]

Hi, i am going to be getting a baby veiled soon but am still doing some research. I have a extra ten gallon that isn't being used. Can the baby go in that untill I get the screen cage? I also have something called a tank topper. it will add about the size of another ten gallon to the tank but it is wire mesh. I just got a small ficus tree and a pothos to put in tank as well. I also have a dark backround around the sides and on the back of the tank. Would tile be ok as a substrate? Thats what I use for my bearded dragons. I also have mountain horned dragons soI know all about drip systems and mising to increase humidity. Thanx

i have seen that before and thought about getting it myself. i do think it will work for a little while, but the only thing i thought was bad was how thick the gaps in between the wires. it seems to big and crickets and fruit flies could get out. that would be my only concern

What if I fed in another tank? Or even put a smaller mesh around it?

that would work but a waste, lllreptiles sells nice cages cheap

i would go to the pet shop you found this at and open it to see how big the holes are, you know if a cricket would or wouldnt be able to get out of it. but when you are really for a permant enclosure go with lllreptiles 24*24*48 should be perfect. anyways i hope i could be of some help
