Could this tank work for an A. geniculata?

[RufusLoacker]

Hi all, I have this glass tank lying around and it'd be awesome if I could use it for my T, which is still small (4cm body) but growing fast.
20cm height, 30cm width, 35cm depth.

My main concern is ventilation, since there is only a grill on the front and one on the top, in the back. I could build an acrylic top with additional vent holes, and try to drill some holes in the glass sides (but I'm a little wary of that).
Also, I'm not sure if there is enough space for substrate, since I can only put 8cm without blocking the front grill.

Thoughts?

I think the ventilation will work- Ts have low oxygen needs

Thanks! Given the T's humidity needs I'm mostly concerned about mold and air stagnation, since it's a pretty big tank, but I'm still a noob

The grill at the front bottom is good and I agree with adding more ventilation at the top, but otherwise I’d use it. Genics don’t have a big problem finding and attacking food, so I house mine on the large size. That being said, that enclosure is reallllly large. I’d start with one a bit smaller and graduate to that one. 4x the dls is the max I’d go personally.

dont chase humidity numbers etc.just give it a wide water dish flooded over now and then. that glass cage will be easy to see if your making the dirt to wet

Here it is! I'm still waiting a bit to put the T in, but I wanted to set it up nicely. Thoughts?

This is a heavy bodied terrestrial, and more than 1.5ish times the DLS is a fall hazard. I’d raise that level and put some fake plants in near the grate where you can’t go higher with the substrate.

What’s the leg span? in inches.

What’s the leg span? in inches.

Around 2.5 inches, possibly a little more

Thanks for the fake plant suggestion! Currently, the maximum height is a little less than 2x DLS
