Exo Terra for BTS?

Postby anthonycapano » Wed Mar 25, 2015 10:11 pm

Hello everyone, I am new to this page and plan on buying a BTS at the next reptile expo. Im in NY so skinks aren't around too much. Any way, Id like to use and Exo Terra however the biggest one that they make is 90 x 45 x 30 cm / 36” x 18” x 12” inch (WxDxH). They make taller ones but I know skinks are bottom dwellers. Do you think that 36" x 18" is enough space for its whole life? I know the bigger the better but just looking to save some space while giving it a comfortable home. Thanks for the replies in advance!!

Thanks, Anthony

The minimum size recommended is 90 x 45 so that should be big enough.

Welcome, Anthony, and it's true, Blue Tongues have not really caught on around here yet. I can't imagine why, but I reckon someday they will pass the Bearded Dragon as the most popular pet lizard. I was at the Long Island expo a few weeks ago and on my last walk around I came across two beautiful juvenile Northerns. They were there ALL DAY!
One came home with me, wish I had taken both but my reptile room is quite the ghetto at present. Best of luck with whatever type BT you decide on.
