Finally getting to upgrade one of my gargs to a bigger enclosure. Luna recently hit the 35 gram mark which is usually when I upgrade my geckos to a bigger enclosure I'm sure she is going to love the space! She is currently being housed in a zoo med 12x12x18 and she will be getting her new enclosure for christmas. Her new enclosure will be the Deluxe reptile habitat by Tetra Fauna. I was going to put her in an Exo-Terra 18x18x24, but when I went to petsmart to pick up a few cage accessories and cgd I saw the Tetra Fauna and fell in love! The ideas for this new enclosure are just pouring in and I found this awesome looking branch that will become the center piece of the new enclosure. Later on i hope to make this a kind of New Caledonian community tank, but thats just a thought. If any of you are currently using this enclosure let me know what you think!!

The dimensions of the enclosure are 12 inches deep by 30 inches long by 18 inches tall.

I'd personally get something taller.....gargoyles love height, mine use more height than surface area by far. All of mine that are 15+ grams are kept in 18x18x24", 24x18x24", or 16x16x30" enclosures.

Mmkay will have to give this decision some thought then.

[Hannibal]

That enclosure size would probably work ok for a Rhacodactylus Chahoua or Rhacodactylus Ciliatus.

[vrob]

but dont chahoua get larger than gargoyle and cresteds?

[Hannibal]

Chahoua are usually about 9-10" long & 50-70 grams;
Gargoyles are usually about 8-9.5" long & 55-90 grams;
Cresteds are usually 7-8" (w/tail) & 45-55 grams

Ahh I see. So where do Sarasinorum, and Trachys fall in terms of length?

[Hannibal]

Sarasinorum are usually 9-10" long & 45-60 grams;
Trachyrhynchus are usually 11-12.5" & 100-150 grams;
Trachycephalus are usually 9-10" long & 50-80 grams
