Hey all I recently cleared out my custom mesh enclosure and I am trying to figure out what to do with it. Any ideas? I am up to anything, but no snakes lol (parents won't allow it).

Tank:
6x3x3 foot mesh enclosure

Heres a list of supplies I've got so far that I can use:
150 watt ceramic heat emitter (pro model)
UVB 5.0 Flouresent
UVB 10.0 Flourescent
100 watt UVA basking light
75 watt infared
Large under tank heater (desert one and tropical one)
Tons of pothos, repti vines, plastic plants
Large waterfall (with built in filter)

Any reccomended setups?

Thanks
 
Cool thanks, but my chameleon recently passed (6-7 years old). SO I am not sure if I am ready for another. I was thinking day gecko, but its a mesh enclosure. Can anyone list some larger arboareal reptiles that would be visible in the large mesh cage? (6x3x3).
 
Im not sure about the size requirements for them but a Green tree monitor or two would be nice. Although they are very pricey
 
Awesome ides:) Thanks, I think that since i'm 13 the monitor is way over my budjet lol:) They are amzing though. With the water dragon they climb a lot to right?
 
Bearded Dragon, can't go wrong with em!
 
Thanks, but the issue with them is that they arent the biggest climbers and the tank is Height 6' Depth 3' Width 3'. ANy other reccomendations? I think the water dragons get to big. Is a 75* ambient and 95* basking with 60% humidity enough for a basilisk? I can change the heat lamps of course though. I am up to more hopefully pets under 120$ though

I think you already know what you want but you are looking for someone to change your mind or find something better...Am i right? Thats my theory since it looks like you know your stuff and you knew right of the bat that bearded dragons are not really climbers.
 
Yes I love basilisks but I am looking for other options to. I have about 7 years experience with reptiles from chameleons to day geckos, snakes etc. I just cannot currently think of other aboreal species for the tank.
Thanks for understanding
