Hey there,
I just received a phone call from someone who has an unrelated pair of Furcifer Verrucos from unknown subspecies. They are wild caught (WC), and tomorrow, i should be traveling 500km to see them (not purchase yet).
I post here because i would like some infos, tips and comments about my plan. So any infos or anything i should know about them would be appreciate. Feel free to post your suggestions too!
Also, i plan on building two enclosures that are 3'6'' wide, 2'2'' deep, and 4'6'' to 5' high. How does that sound?
I plan on putting as much green as there is in my Delko's enclosure (see my signature). The plants should basically be the same, ie Ficus Benjamina, Schefflera, Hoya Bella and/or Philodendron Scandens.
Now, if the enclosure looks fine, i would like to know if there is any real problem you see in having both enclosures close to my Delko's enclosure, which is not WC nor parasited. The closest point of the Verru's enclosure should be approximatively 4 feet away from the closest point of my Sambava, in diagonale. The problem is, if i don't do this, i don't know where i could put their enclosure for a month or two! The only option i could think of is the dining room, which is not the best idea at all because there is less natural light, and the dining room is next to the living room which means that me, my girlfriend and the cat move a lot. However, the moving would be at least 2 meters away from them (if not more). The cat shouldn't be a problem anyway because i will teach them how to not get close to the new enclosures with water, and it usually works wonder!
Another thing i was wondering is, how can i reproduce an environment that is close to their natural habitat?
Also, does the female need a laying bin that is different from other Pardalis?
I may have more questions later, since it's just a start!
