Some recent additions to my hingeback collection have led me to change their accomodations, so now their old home is vacant. It is a wood/plexiglass enclosure that is 4' long, 2' deep and around 3' tall. It is wired for overhead heating/lighting and has a thermostat. It used to have 3 stories in it, and could again, but for now it is just a big space. I would like to fill it with something that won't outgrow it and I was considering a red or yellow ackie (varanus acanthurus). I have heard that they're the monitors most likely to be puppyish and that they should do well in an old hingeback setup. Well, they would once I increase the lighting and add a hot basking spot over a Retes stack.
Anyone have any experience with these guys? Any other suggestions for a reptile that will do well in that space, tolerate handling, and isn't a snake? (That's a wife rule; no snakes!) Also, I'm not really interested in a bearded dragon... sorry to those of you who love them. Thanks for the input in advance!
