    Enclosure for a Peach-throat.
    What is everyone's ideas on a ultimate enclosure for a peach-throat? Right now she is in a large aquarium, but I would love to have her in a larger enclosure, that still looks good, that I can approach from the side more than the top, so I won't be looming over her.
    What do you use for YOUR monitor? If it is a custom built enclosure, what material is it out of? Wood would get nasty quickly I assume. Wire might make rub marks. I've seen people keeping them in large cattle water bins, I assume with a lid of some sort.
    Ideas? Articles? Links?

    Well I'm not sure about peach-throats as I've got a sav - I think peachies are larger aren't they? Anyway, we're in the process of custom building an enclosure and it will be made of a frame and then marine-ply wood (as it's already water-proof). At least that's the plan at the moment. Wood is the best enclosure as it will keep the humidity in well. I'm sure others with more building experience than me will chip in here.

    Raz is right. the peachthroat will grow out of a stock tank really soon and you'll need to make a custom enclosure. just make sure its waterproof.
