I have completed my U. Sikorae Enclosure and I am hoping to get some feedback before I put my group in. Please let me know what you think or if you would adjust anything! Thank you guys!!!!

Enclosure is really beautiful!
The only thing, Exo-terra are too small for Sikorae in my opinion.

Thank you! What size would you recommend for a trio....obviously the bigger the better

but what size would be minimum for you?

thank you again for the feedback!

I keep my pair (but for 3 is ok) in 50x50x100h cm, all screen.

So, I wonder if I could do one of those screen extender tops for an exo terra that would give it an extra 10 inches or so...do you think that would be good...seems like an easy fix to give them a lot more room. What do you think?

Another ten inches would be close to the dimensions gollum gave, provided the Exo is a 18x18x24....
Otherwise it looks great, good job!

The size of the enclosure is irrelevant...

Humidity, food, ventilation...

A twenty gallon tank would be fine for a trio of sikorae...

if the conditions are right.

Most people that have these huge set ups have the set ups for themselves...Nothing wrong with that.

I had a really nice Dendrobate set up...because it was nice and looked natural...not really for the sake of the frogs.

It is more important to have the proper temps and humidity than extra roaming area.
That being said, it is easier to keep the humidity up in smaller enclosures.

Dont try to BREED them, Just try to KEEP them...and if you KEEP them happy, they will breed eventually.

Your enclosure looks great ! I keep a few different species of Uroplatus in 18x18x24 Exo-Terras with no problems. Just watch the wieghts on all three individuals to make sure all are getting their share of food. Good luck and please let us know how you make out.

Jadrig. That's so wrong! The people who have huge setups have them for the animals and not for themselves. People who have huge setups want's to make the best of it for their animals.

I keep my pair of U.sikorae in a 60x60x120cm and even that's not large enough when the female want's to get away from the horny male.

As long as the gecko's find their food nothing is to large!
