Hi

I am a looking to become a first time herp keeper (having kept tropical fish before) looking into setting up a large natural vivarium for green anole. I have a few basic questions I was hoping someone could help me with.

I was looking at two different terrarium designs either the Exo terra 90x 45x 60 or the ferplast explora 110x 45x 90. Would the Exo terra mentioned above be big enough for a group of 4 Green Anole -(1.3)?

I was wondering how best to go about placing basking lights for the ferplast explora if I chose that viv?

I was planning on using florescent strip lights (2.0/ 5.0 %) for the background light and thought more than 1 basking spotlight best? For the number of animals perhaps x2 Exo terra glo lights 14cm ones placed at either end of the viv with the thermal gradient being provided by the lower depths of such a large tank? Or would 1 basking lamp be enough?

If I do use 2 basking lamps would it be possible to attach both to the same dimming thermostat, set at the same temperature?

Would it also be necessary for me to provide night- time heat in the form of a moonlight lamp?

Any advice welcome

Kind regards.

Hi.
If your buying exoterra then you dont need to find any other brand, exoterra high quality, everything you just need to start a running terrarium e.g terrarium kit rainforest or buy just terrarium if your making a live plant realistic terrarium, tho im not sure on size of holding 4 anoles, you gotta research on that. Anoles are great first time pets and are just amazing (as starter) so you can actually make a cheap enclosure with RUBS unless you dont want that, they are simple quality good for most reptiles from Tarantulas and scorpions to lizards, snakes, boas and pythons.
