Bearded dragon(s) or red tail boa for 4x2x2

My kids have all done this to me at some point or another... two snakes were 'surrendered ' to mom...but honestly, i take care of all the animals in the house anyway. Haha. And I don't allow them to rehome. My rule is that if you want something be sure you can commit to the lifespan. Myself, I'm worried who's going to take my babies when i die? I feel sometimes they'll outlive me! Haha. Anyway... i don't use melamine because if not sealed right or gets scratched it swells up and all done. I used wood. But for the snakes we plan on those racks BUT that we can see through and open from front. I enjoy being able to see them even when not holding them. My bearded was kept in big walmart clear tub with screen top until it cracked. Now she's in 40 gal breeder. I'd go for boa maybe only because i tend to feel snakes are a bit easier ...no nail clipping, etc. And they get pretty big right? A nice big snake wrapped around you at the beach or about is always fun. Beardeds i think might be harder to be 'out and about ' with

From my experience the red tail I work with is curious but at her own pace. She's 7 years old and maybe not the most exciting snake but she's very sociable and not head shy. I'd take that over active any day.

I think i am going to rescue a red tegu. He is in pretty bad shape last time I saw him, so if he is still available, I plan to acquire him.

Rescues are always so rewarding. Wildlife and pets they have always been my favorite and seem to have such unique personalities...as if they 'know ' what you have done for them.

 

[Dirkthejerk41]

Yeah, I'm hoping the guy still has it. Poor little guy has like 3 toes total

These bad boys need to come in larger sizes! They'd be perfect for all sorts of reptiles.

 

[BatGirl1]

Oh wow those are perfect! But yeah, too small for very long...

If u seal it then the melamine will be fine! But my beardies were very active and friendly! But yet I would recommend a desert iguana or a blue tounged skink. Something that's not as common as a BD

I'm really thinking the boa... Though i'm not gonna get anything til after I get my red tegu.
