If he is just a baby (which i'm assuming he is) it is fine for him. Mine is a year and a half right now, tho he's outgrowing it and i'm working on building him a nice enclosed one this summer.

The problems with the reptarium?

It's hard as hell to keep it humid in there.. I have to keep my room humid to keep up with it.

As they said..it starts looking bad after about 7 or so months of climbing (i've only had mine for that long). However, at the time it was affordable and i thought it was a good idea.

It's also hard putting branches and stuff in there (and holding them up). I mostly find myself tying them with ropes to make them stay so they don't fall and he hurts himself.

So overall? i'd recommend buying a cage (if you odn't want to build one, building one is way cheaper) from a place like cagesbydesign.com EVEN if it isn't the 5 x 5 x 2 foot one. (that is probably the best one to buy from them for an ig) and it runs about 600 i believe. However, you can buy a smaller one because he's still a baby ig.

Those are just my thought and experiances on it.
