I would love to have a paludarium to combine my two Hobby's, aquarium building/fish care, and vivarium building/reptile/amphibian/ invertebrate care. Honestly the only concern about the difficulty level is I can't be tending to it constantly, I have classes during the day for like 5-6 hours and can't be at home to care for it all the time. Price isn't too big of a problem for me, I've dropped over 1000 dollars on a single gargoyle gecko lol, just as long as it's not too much, space is a slight issue. I would have to keep it in either my room, or the basement (it's a finished basement, dw lol) so it can't be like massive idk the exact maximum measurements. I'm down for any fish really, and Im not that picky about the animal(s), although like every salamander is illegal where I live. Invertebrates aren't really a problem for me I'm fine with all of them, would like it to be big enough to watch or handle. Reptiles are usually my favorite, my favorites are gargoyle geckos because of their behavior and handlability and I don't have one but Chinese crocodile lizards because of their looks, but I'd be fine with it not being handleable. The only reason I haven't already picked a Chinese crocodile lizard is because they are almost always wild caught, I have a strict no wild caught policy for everything except for most invertebrates. So if y'all have any recommendations, advice, places to find good reptiles that aren't wild caught. Please comment and tell me what you think! Thanks!
