I'm Back After a hiatus and child and moving to a new house I am able to return to the world of herp keeping.I was able to score a exoterra terrarium for the low low brand new and it is the largest one they make. 36" long by 24" high by 18" deep. I also have somthing larger up my sleeve that will be 36" wide by 40" tall by 20" deep.Not quite as epic as my blue tree build who I can report have had 2 sucessful clutches of babys at my zoo and are happy as ever and I can visit when ever I want . I was thinking of going with a frillie but somthing in me yearns for another montior. I dont know if their is a species that I can aquire that this size enclosure will suit if not I will go with the frilled.So what does everyone think?????
 
Hey welcome back! For those dimensions look at varanus storrii, gilleni, caudos, similis, and yellow ackies. Red ackies get a touch bigger so it might be a bit tight, but it could work.

Hope this helps on the monitor side.
 
Thanks for the reply . I am sorry I misspelled your name. I am having some time finding a really red or yellow phase frillie so the monitor side might be the way to go .Since my final enclosure will be a little more aboreally situated does that narrow it dowm at all or will all of these utilize the branches and ledges I plan.OOps now I am letting to much info leak.

All the species mentioned will utilize the aforementioned terraria decor that you plan on using. More so Gilleni and caudolineatus, similis as well... good luck and post pics, there is a 1.1 aussie frill on ks for 2500 if thats your bag of tea. Underground reptiles has baby indos for 99.00 and look just like the aussies for sale on KS.....total poop! lol
 
I contacted both people on ks and neither are willing to seperate and my perminant terra is not large enough for both and I do not plan on breeding so what are ya gonna do??? I like the aussies but If you don't know me by now I want somthing that you don't see every day and not the aformentioned total poop lol. How about you what do you have up your sleeve ??? If you don't want to post pm me with details.. I am around 2-to 3 mo away from wanting to aquire atm so if you have some clutches I might be interested in a hold back score wink wink.
