    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 have a walk in enclosure that is 6.5ft tall, a little more than 6ft long and a little more than 3ft deep. what should i put in it? every suggestion will be considered and thank you. but nothing roughly over $200
 
A little more info, please?
Is this an inside enclosure or outside?
What is it made of?
Do you want something because it's "cool" or because you are seriously interested in reptiles?
Do you have any experience with reptiles?
Have you been to any reptile shows and checked out all they have to offer?
Have you checked out the forums this site has to offer?
Do you know anyone with reptiles that can give you suggestions?
And MOST IMPORTANT: do you already have a reptile vet in mind?
If not, start looking for one, NOW!
Now, if you really have know idea what you want, browse the discussion forums, check out the classifieds and see what strikes your fancy. THEN do your research and make sure you are able to offer the care that particular critter needs.
And I can't stress enough--HAVE A GOOD REPTILE/HERP VET FIRST!
Better to have the vet & no critter than to have a sick critter & no vet...
 
im just looking for some brainstorming to see what people shoot at me and yes i have everything in mind its a wood enclosure indoor, i have a few Savannah monitors one full grown 3 water dragons and a 14inch snapper im experienced. sorry for the lack of information im just looking for various ideas. Thank you though its shows you care about the animals well being.
 
Well, it sounds like you are into the lizard aspect of the herp world; and it's nice to hear that you have some experience. What about some kind of chameleon?
I don't know much about them (but I've always liked looking) other than they like to climb.
 
That's a good idea! Do a forum search for chameleons, there's a whole thing about colonies of them being good around in here somewhere.

Um, I think it was in a thread about whether or not dispositions are genetically determinable.

They're so awesome to watch & if you like setting up environments you'd really enjoy all the creativity you'd have room for.
