"why not setup one of your "Green" lizards ( whether it be an carnivorous or omnivorous - never met a Lizard that was a true Vegetarian ) in the "Monitor" footprint and see how it does?"

My little Anole tank sits next to my computer, at first she was a whim purchase that the kid lost interest in so I wound up with her.

It makes me smile when she sits on her limb and bobs her head. I couldn't picture her in anything less than her limb and plants, essential since she licks he water off the plants.

My good friend Suzanne has 2 Iguanas (forever now) that have their own "Florida room" with skylights trees, the works. And until the day I can do that I'd prefer not to have one.

Now Chomper on the other hand lives in a box 4 feet wide, 2 deep and 2 tall. I have purchased the building materials, and got VERY lucky to score these awesome safety glass panels for the front. (I attached a picture) His permanent home will be as close to his natural environment as I can possibly emulate.

One whole corner of our reptile room will be enclosed with 3/4 MDF with this great steel framing I found at the scrap yard and one of these glass doors for a front window.

I read all sorts of posts, and try to come up with a common denominator that makes sense, and the only way to clarify is open discussions, even when there seems to be 20 different opinions to work with.

In the end, the pets all benefit the most especially if the information gets absorbed, remembered and ultimately utilized correctly. (by me of course)

Take care,
Wayne A. Harvey
