Hi all.

We are moving in the next month or two and we are 'upgrading' most of our reps.

We have bought a biiiig flexarium to move our smaller Yemen into (so its the same size setup as our larger female)

Both our yemens do really well in the flexariums but i've heard thgat panthers dont do so well?

We are hopefully getting a Nosey Be baby cham soon and I will have a small flexarium spare.

Should I use it or should I invest in another Exo Terra Terrarium for the panther?

Dont mind either way, gotta give the little guy the best start!

Many Thanks!

Gary

I use exo mesh cages to quarantine new animals. Panthers do very well in them. They are very flimsy and the zip gets stuck sometimes. For garden use in the summer you cant beat them. But for a display purpose then get yourself an aluminum screen viv.

Hope this helps

Cheers Lee,

Well I currently use Flexies and yes they are flimsy, but they're ok Smile
