Good lizard
What's a good lizard that won't outgrow a 70-100 gallon tank.
Please no geckos, skinks, or chameleons. And can also be relatively easy to take care of?
Thanks

with your restrictions, id go with a uro, but of course my first choice would be a blue tongued skink. the uromastyx would be my second choice.

I had both a beardy and uro and the same time...i ended up giving the beardy to a friend and buying another uro..personally uromastyx are muuuch better..more personality, imo, and more fun to watch because they're all curious..its really funny lol

Anyone ever heard of an armadillo lizard? And can you get them CB? Plus what the prices?
And a mountain horned dragon, anyone heard of them? Does anyone know where to get them?

Hey Mathaldo, did you ever think of a Jewelled lacerta? They are much alike a tegu, but usually stay a bit smaller. Their colors can be quite impressive.

You haven't really given us much information on what kind of lizard you want. Are you looking for a larger or smaller animal? Do you want a handleable lizard or a display lizard? I'm sure we could give you many more suggestions and help you out a little better if you gave us some more details.
I see that you are not interested in any geckos, skinks or chameleons. That rules out quite a few interesting animals that make good pets. I'm just curius as to why you don't want any of them.
Almost all mountain horned dragons (Acanthosaura species)are wild caught and do not usually fare well in captivity. I have heard that they get stressed easily, are high maintenance and do not make very good "pets".
Armadillo lizards (Cordylus cataphractus) are interesting lizards but they are quite skittish.
Heres a site with loads of info on them: http://www.chicagoherp.org/special/g...id_lizards.htm
I personally recommend:
Bearded dragons (Pagona vitticeps)
Mali uromastyx (Uromastyx maliensis) or other species of uromastyx.
Yellow Ackie (Varanus acanthurus)
You could also go for a:
Asian (Chinese) water dragon (Physignathus cocincinus)
Australian water dragon (Physignathus lesueurii)
To find information on any of the above lizards (or other species), simply go to www.google.ca and type in the name of the species.

Armadillo, humm which one, hope you aren't talking about the sun gazers since I haven't seen one imported into Canada since the early 90's...
