reptile for this beast?

[ryanc2106]

Get a pair of Australian Water Dragons.

1 2nd this, but not a paid, i single male would be good, pair you will need more room.

aussie water dragons are more pricey then the chiness but in my opinion but colors shemes and more docile and are hardier, because they are all CB , and the chiness are WC
(CB = captive bred ,WC= wild caught)
i have a female and shes easy to take care of,branchs to climb nice water tub and ur set..

They're just about impossible to keep alive in captivity and only eat ants, but the draco lizard genus is very cool. The largest ones get to just over a foot. Only for the VERY advanced herpetologist, though. Still, cool to watch videos of!

Here's a link to a place where only responsible reptile owners (clearly not me--I'm all about fish and fuzzies!) could possibly buy them.

You seriously need to stop smoking, drinking or whatever your doing The sugestion made was Phsignatus lesueuri the aussi water dragon or P. concicinus the chinese water dragon wich are both hardy lizards fairly easy to keep. You are talking about flying dragons Draco sp wich are very hard to keep lizards and a completly diferent species from thouse above (the only relacion they have is that they all belong to the family Agamidae) Its like comparing apples with oranges Many lizards in this family have the name dragon in its comon nomenclature: water dragon, bearded dragon,earless dragon,sailfin dragon,etc.

I think water dragons still You can fill the tank just a few inches with water, throw in a waterfall and lots of vines for him to climb and sleep on. So easy to handle and care for. A friend of mine all he does is open the container of crickets and his guy just sticks his own head in and munces away untill hes done!


Do you have any ideas yet on what your leaning towards with all these ideas from everyone,

oh idk, i really like the basilisk idea, so dinosoar like. now im more worried about ease of care and whether to start with a beardie or not to get the hang of it. on the other hand when i was a young boy i did have an iguana for a while, so i guess im not a complete noob or dumbass as i managed not to kill him despite admittedly doing most everything incorrectly at the time.

With a tank that large I would do a killer paludarium.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paludarium

Something like an Amazon biotope or Swamp biotope. I am sure you could find some creatures that could enjoy/thrive in the conditions created. I think just the space allow would allow an amazing design.

Even if you only put 12" of water in it you could keep some interesting fish. Then add a small reptile like you want.

If you did a native swamp tank you could do a few sunfish, minnows, and maybe a crawfish or something in the water area. Then on the land area make some dry spots, some semi aquatic plants growing from the water area, a large tree or some limbs for climbing and it would easily house some Anoles. Possibly some geckos or a small snake of some kind too, if there are any that don't eat Anoles/Geckos. I don't know Reptiles that well. You sure do have lots of space to make something great.

This would be awesome but a mixed herp species setup is for more advanced herp keeping not a relative novice.

I would go with the aussie water dragons they are awesome and have a great personality for a lizard.

dart frog with a small pondish little thing in the bottom, would be so cool uber sweetness. in the pond in the bottom do archers, with a smaller pond next to it where your darts can lay their eggs.
