    20 gallon long conversion kit

    So I have a spare tank and it's just sitting there. I also want to do a vivarium with an arboreal animal of sorts not sure what yet but one day. I can't find any conversation kits that aren't jungle box who aren't taking any more orders

    I don't know of many but remember an arboreal animal also needs a side to side gradient a 20 is not the best shape for that.

    What at about a top down gradient?

    Typically arboreal animals associate height with security. A strictly vertical gradient often the animal will choose the high spots over the low based on security. This means each perch elevation should have a hot side and cool side. A gradient running side to side as well as the vertical gradient.

    So it seems as if the best thing to do is get not try to convert it. But I guess it's on to plan B a hog nose enclosure lol
