felinus vivariums

**Riverside Reptiles** · #1 10-25-2010, 04:37 PM

I also posted these pics in the "naturalistic viv forum" but I figured since people are always asking me what I keep my felinus in, I'd post these here as well. These are 10 gallon tanks converted into vert vivs. I house one felinus per viv unless it's breeding season in which case it's 1.1 per viv.

Thanks for sharing, good inspiration for building my first vivs for cats.

That's almost exactly how I keep mine but my tanks have the foam dirt wall builds and don't have the cool frames yours do. How did you do that???

Sarah, that's how I build my vertical conversions. I don't like the look of the glass with everything siliconed together. So I decided to make conversions that were more aesthetically appealing (IMO). They also kick the angle of the tank back a few degrees making it more stable as well as giving a better viewing angle. I think I have a thread in the DIY or naturalistic viv forum with some info about them as well.

Norea, I have no idea what kind of plants any of them are!!! I just tend to steal whatever I can take cuttings off of at my Mom's house! Some of those plants are fake as well.

i hope i can use those plants for crested geckos as well... some plants u planted i have seen before.... whats the dimension of your average tanks?

Those are just standard ten gallon tanks. But they only house one individual felinus each. That same conversion technique can be applied to any sized tank though.

Would that work for a giant gecko as well? I mean made with a larger tank?

Depends on what species you mean by "giant gecko". That common name can be applied to many different geckos. But yes, most any arboreal gecko could be housed in a similar set up as long as it was appropriately sized.
