    Free roaming groups?

    I was watching my new garg earlier fail at trying to climb the screen on my laptop and then try eating my mouse cord, and an idea hit me. Cresties, gargs, and other rhacs are semi-arboreal to arboreal, so I figure that if, say, a closet wasn't needed, perhaps adding the necessary foliage, food stations, and such, would free roaming similarly sized rhacs (say cresties and gargs mainly), wouldn't a free roaming group be possible?

    Just a random idea.

    Only if you:

    a) can maintain appropriate humidity in that kind of space
    2) can seal up the edges well enough to ensure you won't have them roaming *everywhere* in your house/apartment/whatever
    iii) don't mind gecko feces *everywhere* in the closet in question

    It sounds fun in the abstract, but I think the reality of the situation might test your patience a bit.
    Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!

    I wouldn't recommend cohabiting the different species. I would just be worried about diseases spreading, trails dropping, fighting and just not being able to monitor each gecko individually.

    Its a personal choice, this is just my opinion on the matter. The idea sounds awesome but the implementation may be quite difficult
