What to put in a 90 gallon?

Hi

I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions on what to put in a 90 gallon tank? I already have Leo's, AFT's, Tokays, and a BRB and a Hogg Island. I am leaning towards a type of lizard as my parents don't want anymore snakes in the house. But I have no clue on what lizard(s) I want to get. I was thinkin of Cresties.

Thanks

You could get some Blue Tongued Skinks, or bearded dragons. (I'd probably get skinks myself

)

get a nile or some type of monitor, something that will will take up all the nice space you have with a 90g

a nile in a 90 gallon? you are crazy. What will you keep it in as an adult?? That is a bad idea.

You could get a trio of beardies. Ackies would be fun. You could get water dragons. You could get a small tortoise, but i believe many people say its not great to keep them in glass tanks. There are so many possibilities.

Something to consider: I assume your 90 gallon is 24" high? Keep in mind uvb tubes are ineffective at that distance, so you will either have to rig something up, use a mercury vapour bulb, or get something that doesn't require it (nocturnal).

Sorry I forgot to mention I already have Beardies.

KILOS: You are correct the tank is 24" high.

Thank you all for your reply!

A free 90 gallon tank to fill eh?

First off I don't think cresties would be a good idea for an aquarium...although some keepers seem to have very little trouble - most seem to have difficulty getting adequete ventilation and humidity when using an aquarium with either a metal or screen lid.

Also, with having only 24" inches of height and all that floor space considering something with more terrestrial habits would probably be a good idea.

All that jabber being said I think Blue Tongue Skinks and Ridgetail monitors would both be a great choice.

Good luck!
