Ok everybody, my name is Taylor and I live in southern california (Long Beach). I have a baby extreme male from bobby at varnyard (hope its a male) and I have a question about a possible enclosure idea. Ok just hear me out. I have betelgeuse in a 40 gallon breeder, that of which he is seemingly comfortable in. However he will be getting a lot larger and I was wondering since I only have room for a 6x3x3 enclosure and not really any larger, could I just leave the door to his enclosure open all the time so he can come and go as he pleases? I plan on getting a larger enclosure in the coming months depending on how fast he grows so I have time to build. I just hear that 6x3x3 is too small for an extreme. If I have a repti fogger on and adequate uva light, living in socal it doesnt get below 50 at night and is always 70-80 everyday could I theoretically just have my whole apartment be his enclosure? I just dont like the idea of keeping him locked up in his cage all day until I get home from school or work ya know. is this a bad idea or could it work? He would know where to go for basking, water, and to sleep in his hide. I feel like this is a good idea and since he has access to an 850 square foot apartment, he wouldnt need an 8 or 10 foot enclosure, especially if it is open all the time. What does everybody think?
