i have been thinking about getting a pair of these lizards...

is a reptarium going to have to much heat escape since it is a screen cage?

i ave 20 gall l long tank...to smalll for a pair?

I think a 20 long would be more appropriate than a reptarium...I personally have no experience with the reptariums, but they seem better suited for something more arboreal and slow, like chameleons and horned dragons.

I keep small lizards in 20 longs...with a wc lizard, it would probably be disasterous though. More than likely the lizards would bang their snouts and get stressed out in such a small tank. Like I said though...captive bred lizards do very well in 20 longs. E-mail me if you'd like. Just click on my name above.

They are not good for a collared lizard, in my opinion, first your right it would be difficult to hold in the heat, that they need and like, and also they love to jump and climb and may get their nails caught in the mesh screening, and just hang ther helpless ! I agree with John (for once) hehehhehe LOL tank is better even the 20 long , good luck Eve
