Temporary Cage?

[Rascal]

Hey BTS Owners,
I'm wondering what I could use as a temporary cage (with lights/heating) for my soon to be BTS? I've looked everywhere for some cheap glass aquariums, but I live In Australia so its quite hard to find. I really want to get something soon so I can get my BTS next week! Thanks

if its a baby im sure a 20 gallon long would work just fine

welcome to the forum,if its a baby it wont need a big cage straight away,main thing will be supplying it with a basking area and room to escape the heat to

And something for him to hide in just in case he is stressed

I use a large plastic tub for a temp cage. I cut most of the lid out and replaced it with heavy duty screen so I could set lights on it. The lid has handles that snap shut so no worries about escaping. It works really well and I spend under $10 for it.

Good idea ^

Gail that is a really good idea, i can do that till i build a big cage!!!
Thanks

EDIT: I'm going to Buy a big container tomorrow, and hopefully some wire/mesh. Can't wait!
