Enclosure Height

Postby BlueTongueSkink29 » Thu Nov 04, 2021 4:33 pm

Getting a BTS soon and was wondering if the enclosure should be 24" tall, or if 16-18" is okay. Thanks for any advice!

I personally recommend 2ft or 24 inches, however the 18 inch is fine too. Skinks can surprisingly stretch themselves out very tall when they prop themselves up against enclosure walls. Some have been even known to push out of the shorter enclosures and escape. I have both mine in 24 inch height.
