Choose the footprint
Start with the requirements of the particular species and its adult size. A general label such as “reptile tank” does not establish suitability.
Plan the interior
Sketch furnishings before buying the enclosure. Consider how they affect usable space, access and cleaning.
Check the practical details
Review doors, ventilation, cable access and the security of fittings. Think about how the enclosure will work in your home every day.
