Wanting some ideas for my big tank if I don’t sell it within this year I want to do something else with it was thinking a few Iguanas or something like that no snakes never really cared for them I like them but just don’t want any, iv thought about a caiman but just don’t want to deal with it when it gets to big plus iv had one in the past so not to interested in getting another one. Any ideas of what I could do?

The tank is like 82x36x32 or some were around those dimensions.
 
theres alot you could do. id do a river setup with various map turtles and maybe some musk turtles. or a sweet water dragon enclosure.
 
Water dragon sounds Hot but I personally would do Turtles :D
 
what about some oddballs like a caiman lizard (not a caiman but the Dracaena sp)? you could also do several monitors in that tank for life and what about some green plumed basilisks? Or better yet, a sailfin dragon.
 
Id shoot for a egyptian uromastyx (maybe even a pair depending on dimensions). Sailfin dragons. A BIG dart frog tank would be sick. Tegu. Gilas monsters. A colony of horny toads would also be cool. I would have a field day with so many ideas with a tank that size. Personally though, unless it was a custom wood tank or 1 with a opening front i would use it for fish as it would be a pain to get inside to do maintenance through the top as with such a large tank it would sit up high.
 
with a set up that big you could do a 1 quarter land 3 quarters water then move your turtles over. also put an awesome waterfall with river on the land. im sure with the right type of turtles you could do some frogs with them maybe even lizards. or even put a net up at the land part and give your turtles enough basking room that way they cant get to the frogs and smaller lizards.

this is the type of set up i eventually want to do
 
Plant it up and try one of the larger treefrog species. Or set it up like a scrub land and get a small colony of Sceloporus sp.
