For tropical countries, which cage?

[yong]

For tropical countries with steady tempretures around 30C all year long, is it advisable to use exo terra terrariums ? instead of screen. I know the best is screeen, but does the glass terrarium work?

I think it would green house effect, and make the heat way too hot.

Screen... In fact since you live in a tropical area, you may be able to keep them outside full-time, if bugs are not an issue.

judging by what you said of being in a tropical place, i would go screen because the temperatures would mke it way easier for you to maintin and like swayne said you could keep him or her outside a lot for amazing uvb eposure

i have placed my screen cage outside already, partly exposed to the sun. just thinking about changing to a bigger screened tank reptile tank that would be much bigger space and well, nicer to the eyes of course. but by doing so, theres pros and cons...

cons, the sunlight does not penetrate through the side walls, heat might build up, water clogged,

pros, bigger space, easier folliage, more plants, easy maintenence,..below currrent set up

Honestly if you are really up for it I would build your own outdoor enclosure that is big that way you can customize he size and everything you want to go with it
