With Reptariums, you can get soft trays, which will hold in the humidity for them. They fit around the poles, then you put the mesh around them. I have a 100 gall. rept. and a 38 gall. I love them!

when you equat how much you spend on the actual screen and then the softtrays, you might as well buy a glass tank

but then you have to consider how light the reptariums are.

but then you have to consider their poor visibility.

I like the reptariums, and own the 65 gallon, but there are some downsides

I love these. If you set up a light on the top it helps with visibility. And I like how they are so light. As much as I like glass tanks, they are just heavy and hard to deal with in my situation. These are perfect. I've seen some nice 100 gal. tall glass tanks I wanted, but this reptarium was way cheaper, even with the soft trays I have purchased for it. They need to make soft trays for the 100 gal. long though. They just have some for tall and some for flat. I need some soft trays for the sides, but I'm just going to put plastic wrap for now. Everything is going to have a downside though. It all depends on you, your situation with housing and such, and money.

moneys isnt the issue  ;Di wanted to get ideas for keeping mold off my walls. im gonna try the soft trays thing Grin yea i like it cuz there not only light but  also becuz of the water drying on the glass looks ugly i think the all screen makes them feel more at a natural environment as well cuz they get the fresh air circlulated through out the day better. especially here in southern california u dont really have that humid problem so much soo i think its where you live and what you prefer Undecided they must be doing great there only two 11g juvies and lots of space and structure Grin excuted about the tank though thinking when i get my chewie to place it in a reptarium as well

With my 100 gall. I want to put all my females (probably just two for the time being), 1 female chewie, 1 female sara, and 1 Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink (or Pink tongued...can't decide). Maybe some isopods as well. I think it will look awesome.
