Water Importance

[ConcinusMan]

I've always just used plain tap water. Considering what's in the water where I find healthy concinnus in the wild, I highly doubt that anything in our tap water is going to hurt them. (we actually have some of the best tap water in the country)

Yeah, that's right. I'm a bad daddy. Untreated tap water and gold fish. WC and never dewormed, never saw a vet. Poor guys. They only lived 2 decades.

Those things may have worked for you and the two garters that did so well but I know others have had very bad experiences by doing, or not doing, those same things.

You can't pass those things off as across the board acceptable care based on experiences of 2 specimens. You also can't look at solely longevity to determine if an animal thrived or not.

I don't mean to bash you or your husbandry techniques but I do think you should point out that just because something has worked for you does not mean that it will work with every other species or even every individual within that species.

I've got a question on this.
At the moment theres a bassin in my terrarium, containing ca. 3 liters.
Now i'd like to attach an Aquarium, size: 30x30x30 (or higher)
The Terrarium is integrated in a cupboard und so there would be a possibility to build an additional floor comprehending an aquarium.
Terrarium's size is: 150x40x40 (l,w,h)
What do you think - is this possible or should i keep the bassin?
