    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I was recently given a custom built terrarium that's almost 6' tall with a base just a little smaller that 2'x4' and I want to get some kind of lizard to put in it. It should obviously be something at least semi-arboreal, but most arboreal lizards I've looked into require relatively high humidity and the terrarium wasn't really built in a way which retains high humidity levels.

So, I'm looking for a species that's arboreal, does fine in relatively low humidity, and hopefully would not out grow the terrarium. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
 
Hi Caleb....I would suggest a bearded dragon, they actually love to climb, and you wouldn't need to use all the 6 feet of vertical space if you didn't want to. I imagine that the light fixtures are built into the top, if not then you could hang whatever fixtures you need inside, including a mercury vapor UVB bulb that would require a certain distance between it and the lizard. You could build quite a " palace " with faux rock wall, etc. A large piece of driftwood or several small pieces can make for an attractive set up. Of course, I'm partial to beardies, but I think it would be a good choice for a semi arboreal lizard with a low humidity requirement.
