Questions about P. laticauda
Now that I can take a break from academic work, I want to set up a vivarium for P. laticauda laticauda. I'm planning to begin with them because I have never kept Phelsumas, and I understand they are less sensitive/more tolerant than other Phelsumas.
I am being given a 75-gallon aquarium that was previously used for snakes. Would it be adequate for three Phelsumas (after a good cleaning, of course)? I know it isn't quite as tall as some care sheets suggest for P. laticauda--the dimensions are 48 1/2 long x 18 1/2 deep x 21 3/8 high. Will the height be a problem?
I have some unhappy orchids I want to put into the vivarium (it's just too dry here, even with my gravel humidity trays & frequent misting), and I'm hoping to include maidenhair fern (Adantium capillus-veneris), as it is one of my favorite ferns. Other suggestions?
Tips are greatly appreciated--I would very much like to do this vivarium right the first time!
