What should I get for this tank?

Its a 125. one side will be screen.

Anything Lizard, or maybe a tortoise(obviously I would have to modify th sides so he/she cant see out..


Tanks is 18 wide, 20 tall, and 6 feet long....

If their is going to be some type of liz, most likely wanting a pair. If a tort, a single or pair..

Some pics of my almost completed restore... The screen will be attached with silicone and probably some type of a frame for it.

That appears to be nylon screening and as such I wouldn't put any insectivores in there unless that screen ends up being the top of the tank. Crickets and other insects will munch through the screen.

Also, with a screened side you may limit yourself in what species you can and can't maintain within the tank. The biggest species of concern would be animals with high humidity requirements. Soaking wet will promote bacterial and fungal growth/infections for high humidity animals, but nonethless they need humidity. The key would be adequate ventiliation to allow the tank to dry out by afternoon. So fwiw, if you choose a high humidity species I'd suggest reading the humidity/caging requirements outlined in The Complete Chondro or The More Complete Chondro. Similar guidelines can be made or utilized through what is offered in those books for green tree python care (tropical python species....i.e., high humidity species).

Oh, and your friends look a little dull and flat ;)
