Hey buddy, I say go with a BTS. I have a pair of Uro's and to me I think a BTS is more of a better animal. They eat anything, they don't cost much to keep them as caging goes and the blue tongue is just crazy.

Another BTS

I agree, I have also owned uro's in the past and I like BTS better, i currently have 6 and they are really good pets. BTW Richard that rack is Amazing, thats a great idea, i'm gonna try the same thing. Are the bottom container heated? and how many watts are you using on the top 4? Thanks

[Richard Welter]

Because I am cooling them I just have the UVB lamps and bulbs on them. I will have and I am setting up 3 ft of flexwatt for the bottom of each two containers. At 20 watts a foot this will be the cheapest and better way to do this.

Thanks alot Richard, Good luck with ur BTS and once again thats a great idea and a nice set up.

[Richard Welter]

The only problem I have is the size of the containers. Last night one of my males got out and scared my girlfriend so I need bigger containers that will get the job down. Also my smallest sking is 16 inches and the largest is just of 21 inch's so size wise I jumped into a project half cocked for size. Good luck on this coming breeding season

I feel blue tongues are the easiest to keep and a very curious fun lizard.........
