Hi everyone,
I'm thinking of getting a lizard that grows no more than 1 1/2' to 4' and has different husbandry needs when compared to my other animals. I want to get out my comfort zone and work with more reptiles. I do have the time and should have more space in a few months. I will not get the reptile until I have the space but I would prefer to get a baby if it is on the bigger side.
I have experience with tegus, chameleons, leopard geckoes, bearded dragons, tortoises (red footed), chuckwalla (dealt with mites and he's doing well), and ackie monitor (would not consider another). I have the tools needed to build another enclosure and I can buy the wood. I was thinking nothing bigger than 6'x4'x6'.
Please let me know thoughts and opinions. Pros and cons would great and maybe give me an idea of what your recommendation eats. I have a tegu and chameleon so I have crickets, mice and ground turkey in the house often enough. I have thought of a snake but in my opinion, one snake is more than enough for me.
Thank you!
