Good lizard for a 2x2x2 aquarium?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Geckos and smaller species of anoles/skinks are going to be pretty much your only options. As far as semi-aquatic lizards, really there aren't any that would be small enough. Smaller lizards don't usually do a whole lot of swimming, since when they do things tend to eat them.. There are plenty that will appreciate wet/damp environments and will get in the water every now and then, most of them skinks.
 
Are there any smaller species of ameiva that could comfortably live here for life? If not, what kind of skinks do I have the ability to house?

Ameivas love to run, so anything under about six inches. Bigger than that, and you would want something bigger to keep it in. Larger geckos could be kept though as they would have more useable space and not be as active.

croc skinks are semi aquatic
 
I did some reading and like the dragon agamas and it seems as if they are just what im looking for and i can house them for life, now if anyone thinks otherwise please feel free to share. I am going to research them some more before I make my final decision.
