split housing

[jobro1968]

just wondering would i be able to make a say 6ftx4ft enclosure and put a peice of wood down the middle to separate it. then have little leo in 1 side and little hermanns in other. or is it best not to have them so close??? just a thought as ive seen it done but i dont know whether people do it just with same species. thanks in advance

hi

it can be done

as long as each separate species get the environment it needs

will you be able to keep the leos night time temps high enough without affecting the hermans who needs lower night time temps

as linda has said, as long as the two sides have there own environment and non effect the others then it should be fine

erm yeah i never thought of that 1. any suggestions on how that could be done. maybe if i added a night time basking bulb to the leopards. could that work?

[linda]

possibly

but really you would need to set the table up

and start recording temperatures in both areas

to check you can obtain the correct day time temps and night time temps for both species

i have 1 table for ibera and 1 table for reds fairly close together

each has its own uv lights

the reds also has a night time ceramic

so i am able to get the correct temps for both species

but my tables are both larger than yours and as said are seperate

im presuming you do not have both species yet

so you could divide the table set up the heating and lighting and see what temps you are able to maintain

[jobro1968]

no i already have both species but im not in a rush so i could actually just try the temps like you say. also i might just try doing it with the separate lights as i have enough combined bulbs to do it. will just have to experiment i think.
thanks though for the advice i will give it a try and see what i can come up with
