thinking about getting one

sean1234 Oct 15, 2003 12:18 PM

ihave a few questions
1. would a 4ft long x 4ft high x 2ft cage be large enough for a adult?
2. do you know of any websites that have a good caresheet on them.
3. do they get pretty tame/handleable
4. im thinking about a blue tongue skink or frilled dragon which is more responsive to human contact
5. do they eat veggies. i usually have some lettuce that goes bad b/c my BD doesnt eat it all.

1. would a 4ft long x 4ft high x 2ft cage be large enough for a adult? yes
2. do you know of any websites that have a good caresheet on them. www.sundialreptile.com
3. do they get pretty tame/handleable yes
4. im thinking about a blue tongue skink or frilled dragon which is more responsive to human contact I think a frilled would be more interactive/responsive. But i have never had a blue tongue. My frilled is my first and only lizard.
5. do they eat veggies. i usually have some lettuce that goes bad b/c my BD doesnt eat it all. They can, but most wont...they are more carnivorous that beardies.

thanks for the answers. can you post a picture of your whole cage? also is it true that the males make better pets or not? nice picture

Here is a pic of the cage. It is a 65 gal. for now while he is a baby. I don't know if males are tamer. Thats what i heard. I don't even know if mine is a boy/girl....its too young.
