Abstract
Reptiles can be stored in a variety of containers: however. the most convenient and widely used are glass aquaria. Glass aquaria provide adequate housing for small reptiles, but are not very practical options for housing large reptiles because they are heavy and easily broken. Large reptiles are housed in a wide variety of containers. Frequently used cages include custom made wood and glass cages, cattle tanks. plastic terraria, and commercially available cages (Mason et al. 1991). While these certainly provide adequate housing options, they are often cost prohibitive, heavy, and difficult to properly sanitize.
