Re: Suggestions please :)

I would also flip it on its side for more floor space. For a more terrestrial species that is. Like for the BRB or some colubrids^.=.^ or small boas or pythons

Update:

Here's the pick up
More pictures of the enclosure it is 4 feet tall by 2 feet wide and 2 feet deep. The work begins and I will be open for suggestions on 3D backgrounds

Also I think I found the inhabitant but I want some info if you guys have any experience with Chinese water dragons. I hit the reptile zoo today and I fell in love with these guys. The male in particular looks spectacular fully mature

Re: Suggestions please :)

Wicked enclosure to work with, should turn out nice....

Everyone is suggesting pairs of this n pairs of that.. Personally I feel that if it's a new species then you should start with a single specimen until you have the care and habitat 100% sorted.. Otherwise your just adding problems with multiple animals when starting out. And be aware that female geckos can and do fight at times so you will always need spare enclosures in case you need to separate.. Same goes for 1.1 pairs.

As for water dragons... From what I've seen in the past and speaking to other keepers, they're very very prone to injuries and broken bones etc due to leaping off things and generally being crazy so be prepared for vet visits and bills.

How do you feel on getting bitten, as I think an ATB could look fantastic in there as a display animal

I'm a believer that water dragons need exceptionally large amounts of space for their size.

Many of them have nose rub pretty bad from being in a too small of an enclosure. I'd look for something smaller.
