If they were mertensi, salvator, cumingi, mangrove, etc. I may have agreed but I think a large land area would be of far greater benefit. I would really look into a trough. By the sound of things, if you just bought a 8x4x3 trough and slapped something on top of it, it would be a much more adequate enclosure than what he is in at the moment. You can later think about adding some height, but an 8 foot trough should be plenty large enough to allow you to stall for time.

alright then the stock tank is a good idea, I still want a large(not as large) swimming area for him. Would it be possible to build a drain or something into a water dish so you could drain the water out rather than having to lift it? I'm rather insistent on the largish water area because he seems happiest when he's swimming.
