by the way, a 20 gal. is too small for most plated lizards

get a small lizard species....like an anole, dont want them beeing too confined. I got my igg in a 3ftx4ftx8ft right now, my baby cwd in a 4x2x4, and my "teenage" cwd in a 60inx24inx20in. I duno, Im waiting till my dad actually LIKES the idea of lizards before going ALL out, as it is theres no space in my room for me, 3 cages, a bed, and a dresser! LOL. But seriously, dont just get something to fill the cage, I know you'd take care of it, but still

Indeed - we had to bump up to a 40Gal breeder for our plated. Simply one of the most tractable lizards I have come across.

what i really didnt understand was that there was an empty tank right next to the one they were in. they coulda just took the divider out and vwa lah there is at least a 60 gallon.
