Default Viv or table?

Just wondering what people's views are for redfoots and cherry heads. As they need the higher humidity do they prefer tables or vivs?

Jim.

Easier to keep the heat and the humidity in a viv

Agree but just make sure the viv is big enough for adequate heat at the hot spot and a temp drop at the cool end. I use 5ft x 2ft x2ft vivs and find this size very manageable. For reds you'd need something bigger if keeping multiple adults together.

I've done both, originally vivarium, then table and then viv again. Now I'm using a nice large table, the only issue i find is the height required for a good MV Bulb is higher than most vivariums!

Table for me! Easy to clean and no glass for them to walk into constantly!
