How Big Should a Reptile Enclosure ACTUALLY Be?

Описание: Ep. 243 - How big should a reptile enclosure actually be?

In this episode, I’m joined by Mariah Healey from ReptiFiles to break down how to properly calculate reptile enclosure size, and we also discuss how to provide proper heating for your reptiles. We discuss how to move beyond outdated “minimums,” focusing instead on usable space, thermal gradients, and species-appropriate behavior.

Topics include:
How to calculate the minimum enclosure size
Why enclosure dimensions matter for heat gradients
Common heating and enclosure mistakes
How size impacts thermoregulation and welfare

🎧 Listen to the full episode on YouTube, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
