Use the height
Climbing species need usable routes and cover, not just empty vertical glass. Branch placement also changes how close an animal can approach lamps.
Different animals, different designs
A gecko needs climbing and hiding space; a mantis needs unobstructed hanging clearance to moult. A tall enclosure that works for one can fail the other. Follow the individual guide.
