a couple of iguanas? Really?
yeah, not even one iguana could live in that tank for life.
 
I like the thought of a colony of something. Weather its Sceloporus sp. or Phrynosoma sp. (leaning towards Phrynosoma). But knowing me i would try to find something that is endangered in the wild that i can help bossting there numbers in captivity or animals not commonly seen in captivity. I would do that or like i said, depending on dimensions do a Egyptian Uromastyx.

abronia sp. would be good candidates for that. not to mention they are just plain BA but they are on the advanced side of the hobby and are quite expensive. If the OP thinks he is up to it though, this is what I suggest.
 
To the op, I think your best off leaving it empty. You said you plan on selling it, just do that. From reading your post it doesn't sound like your that interested in herps. Just my 2 cents.

Actually that would be kinda cool. And that is something that could use a few more in the hobby.

How much are you selling the tank for?

1250.



Im kind of liking a huge frog tank id like the way that would look with a bunch of nice plants growing in there, also kind of licking the idea of a couple monitors in there as well.
 
A large Abronia colony would be pretty cool. If you went with frogs, what kind would you go with? Darts, trees, etc.?

One thing to obviously take into consideration with a tank that size is not only finding a place in your house that it can fit, but a place where the floor is solid enough to support the weight of whatever you put in. If you go with something that requires a large portion of water that tank's going to get very heavy very fast.

Yea the tank itself is easily over 800lbs its been up and running for awhile now in my garage.
