4'X2'X4' to fill
I have a 4x2x4 melamine enclosure that I need to fill. I am looking for suggestions. I want something thats a not too much work and upkeep and preferably can be kept as a pair. Lizards/ Snakes/ etc.

If I where you I would look into Varanus Acanthurus (red or yellow Ackie monitors) That enclosure could house 2 nicely. IMO they are fairly low maintenance.

Re: 4'X2'X4' to fill
4x2x4 is a little on the small side for ackies. Definitely too small for blue trees. I'm glad they're out of there now. What about a uromastyx?

Re: 4'X2'X4' to fill
From everything I have read that is the perfect size for a pair of ackies.. BarelyBreathing can you send me any links to show me other wise? I am looking to get some ackies once I move and I want to make sure I can house them properly when I do so. I am still unsure of the space I will have but I will make their enclosure as large as I can.

Re: 4'X2'X4' to fill
I would put a single ackie in a viv that size but not a pair, when we had our single he was in a 4x2x2foot enclosure which gave him plenty of room to run around like a loon

Re: 4'X2'X4' to fill
The blue trees were only in there temporarily and they were a juvie pair. Definitely not an adult pair. They had plenty of room to one around  . Anybody have any non-monitor recommendations?

Re: 4'X2'X4' to fill
Is the viv 4ft wide by 4ft long? Or is it 4ft high? Makes a big difference to floor space so obviously allows different options to fill it.....

Good question. I always tend to automatically think and read it as width x depth x height

Re: 4'X2'X4' to fill
Length is and width is the same.. depth is from front to back.

Depends how you look at it... But it's always best to check or we could be giving bad advice...

Re: 4'X2'X4' to fill
even when you look at length and width are different i got my math book out in grade school
length:the longest extent of anything as measured from end to end
width:extent from side to side
