Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

space limits
my tank right now is a 29 gallon and i may not be able to upgrade that for a few years. i wouldnt be getting my new lizard for a few years because i currently have a green anole but i know that she will not be alive for more than two years from now because she is wild caught and at least 1.5 years old. i normally wouldnt have taken a wild caught animal but she was a prize at fair before i knew abnything about lizrds.

Well, a couple of leopard geckos would fit great in a 29. You actually could probably put a single one in a 10. There are some skinks that would fit in a 29 but it's too small for a blue tongue. I wouldn't be suprised if your anole lives a bit longer than 2 years, but it's really hard to tell with WC animals.

skinks
what types of skins would fit into a 29 gallon? i am really interested in skinks because my friends cousin has a schneiders skink that just loves people but i know that schnieders are much larger than blue tongues. thank you very much for all of the help.

Well... I THINK fire skinks would be ok in that tank. Don't quote me on that, but they're very cute and worth looking into. If you can get a CB crocodile skink, they're also awesome (that's what I keep) but they're only active at 5 am or thereabouts.

That's what I thought... but I'm bad with numbers so I thought I might be wrong.

thanks
i have been doing research on enclsures and found that my dad can make a larger enclosure when the time comes. and thanks for correcting me on the skinks i read somewhere that blues are smaller than schnieders. now that i have less space limitations i am looking into beardies but i will probably still go for a skink because i dont like big crickets or pinkies. thanks again

For your current tank, look into crested geckos as well. They're calm enough to handle easily, and you could possibly put a couple in the tank....and there is a food made by t-rex that eliminates the need for crickets...
