Hey everyone. I was wondering if anyone has any plans or advice about building an outdoor enclosure. I am not possitive what kind of lizard that I am going to get, but I know it will be some type of lizard. I live in Sacramento, CA, USA.
I have been looking for any type of lizard that can live ALL YEAR ROUND in my backyard. Spain has a few areas that have somewhat of a similiar climate as I do here. Then next is picking one out that is somewhat inexpensive.
What i was contemplating now if Jeweled Lacertas. I can get them off of the internet, 3 small juvis for $100 + $35 shipping.
Anyone, do you have any ideas as of what lizards/monitors I could do in a 3x5 ft. or a 3x10 ft. enclosure that is relatively inexpensive?? I looked at Cloumbian B&W Tegu because of the sale price of $25 from $89.99, but they are not anywhere near the temperment of a Argentine B&W Tegu and they can't be kept outside all year round in my area.
Anyway, please someone give me some ideas for an outdoor enclosure and/or ideas of reptiles. Here is one site that I looked at, but I wanted more ideas and not geared toward iguanias: http://www.anapsid.org/iguana/caging.html
Thanks,
