Thanks for the input guys. Just saw yours Skip. Going to look into the other species now. Would you say the ones you mentioned are more or less skittish overall? One thing drawing me to Ackies is that they aren't too shy. One thing deterring me is the depth of substrate. So if there is an arboreal species with less of a substrate requirement that is still a good display animal that is appealing.
I'm doing some napkin math on the weight of the dirt in the enclosure and getting a little freaked out. Do many people need to consider the integrity of their home and enclosure position with this in mind? It's deterring me a bit from the ackies just because if I want viable clutches I'll need it on the deep side of the range.
