Setting up juvenile carpet in aquarium
Hey everybody, I’ve been out of the reptile keeping game for a solid 5 years Which I just ended by putting down a deposit on a gorgeous Axanthic Zebra female. According to the breeder, she hatched last summer and has been on a maintenance diet since then so she’s not too big for her age. Although I just put her on hold last night, I have already started getting a setup together for her with the purchase of a 20 gallon tall aquarium and a 10” deep dome lamp. In the past, I’ve kept juvenile carpets like this one in 10 gallon aquariums with wood perches hot glued in on one side under a red heat lamp, a hide, a water bowl of course, and using zoo med repti bark as the substrate. I also had foam board covering the majority of the screen lid to keep in a bit of humidity and heat. Does anybody see any issues with a setup like this for a carpet. It’s been a while since I’ve kept any reptiles I’m a little anxious about getting her setup right.
Thanks in advance!
