Hello!
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.

lizard inhabitants for 48L x 12W x 18H?
I picked up a cage on Craigslist the other day expecting the dimensions to be 48L x 18W x 12H. I was intending on putting a small uromastyx in there but apparently the person accidentally got the dimensions mixed up. Its 12" wide and 18" high.
It was originally from glasscages.com and has sliding glass doors. What lizard(s) could I keep in there comfortably. I'm a college student so I can't spend too much, but I'm willing to save up. So maybe $300 maximum. Lol I know that isn't much, but for me it is.
I'd appreciate all suggestions and advice!
BTW I'm not really looking for any arboreal geckos, I already have a few of those.

Have you considered anoles? Both green and brown anoles are inexpensive and make very interesting pets. You could keep a 1.2 trio in a tank that size. Some drainage rocks, top soil, and inexpensive pothos vines could create a very nice naturalistic vivarium for very little cost. I used to keep anoles as a kid and really enjoyed them.

Yeah I've had anoles before so I'm really looking for something different. I'd perfer something terrestrial or semi-arboreal but something that maybe isn't so common like leopard, crested or gargoyle geckos, but isn't extremely rare either. Does that make any sense? Lol
Is there anything communal that would work well in that set up? When I say communal, I mean they live in communities in the wild, not just forced to live together in captivity.

Skinks may work. Five-lines are fun and I believe you can keep natives as pets in South Carolina (but I would double check the regs just to be sure). How about dart frogs?

Nah I'm not that into frogs. I like something that I can handle a decent amount, a that will interact with you. What about like tree skinks or something? Idk. I want something non native. But I have kept five-lines in the past. Fun little guys, but too common.

Hmmm, not sure. I haven't really worked with the more esoteric lizards. Tree skinks can be pricey. Maybe cave geckos (Goniurosaurus spp.)? North American banded geckos (Coleonyx spp.)? Red-eyed crocodile skinks? Rankins dragons? Eublepharis hardwickii?

Yeah I've thought of banded geckos or croc skinks. But the setback on the croc skinks is I don't know how well the new tank can hold water. And if I did croc skinks I'd want to do like a river bed style. With running water. But the banded geckos may work. I'll have to figure out what substrate would be good for burrowing though.

Italian Wall Lizards - but if you don't separate males from females you'll be knee deep in babies in no time.

I've also thought about a rankings dragon, but would this cage really be big enough?
