What to put in 36x18x18

If you were given an exo-terra 36x18x18 with all the lighting and heating what would you put in it? Try to stick to snakes, boids really. This is a situation I'm in and I want to know what would be a good snake that could live its whole life in there.

GTP, ATB, or rainbow boa :)

A GTP would be alright in that? That's great because I always wanted one but thought I would need a bigger enclosure... If you say that size is ok for one though...we have a Winner!!

IJ carpet python!

A GTP might work, but 24" height is ideal for adults.

IJ Carpet or IJ JAG Carpet !!!!

Okay its between Carpet and GTP. I like the IJ Jag morphs better than IJ but what are price ranges of IJ Jags? More than gtps because I know they are expensive

Many folks use a 24x24x24 cube for GTPs. Since yours is 36x18x18, it should be perfectly fine for one. I'd get a sub-adult or yearling and try to get a male since it'd be a bit smaller than the average female, but a GTP should be quite happy in that. I adore my GTP and am so happy I got him - they are truly fascinating and they're the ultimate display animal. You can make a super natural jungle vivarium with that setup too.

I've been looking at IJ Jags myself recently. I'm pretty picky on what I like, but prices I've found so far are around $900. Now the coastal jags are pretty nice too and that'll only run you about $300. But I'm a sucker for the IJ jags so..... :P

Thanks for the great reply! Wow I didn't know carpets were so much $, if I'm gonna spend that much I will def go with a GTP. How do you recommend I setup this tank? I have one fully living viv for my cresties .m Any pics you'd like 2 share of your own setup?

Curious as well! I've got the same tank.

Here is Hunter's enclosure. It is a 3x2x2 from www.pvccages.com. I love it and will definitely buy from Jim again! The perches are dragonwood perches I found on ebay. They were originally for birds, but my hubby removed the bolts off the ends and we made shallow cups to hold them instead so they are completely removable. Dragonwood is mold resistant and wonderfully jungle-like in appearance. I used fake but very realistic plants from Michaels and pieces of mopani wood for bases. The plant on top is real, lol. The substrate is shredded fern pulp. I had a blast building it!!

Both are great animals and you will get a lot of pleasure out of each of them. I personally would not put a carpet in them. I know many people say that they are semi arboreal, which they when they are young. In my experience carpets tend to want more ground room as they get older and bigger. Also I have and have seen some large carpets out there, but the IJ usually aren't as big as coastals.
