That is not going to do for the rest of it's life. Those lizards sometimes reach 5 feet. That wouldn't really do well for one that size.

yeah, you can keep the brn in there for the rest of its life, and i could keep my argus raise ups in there 7 foot cage for the rest of their lives, but why would i? it is not what we can get away with, but what we can setup ideally. if you are thinking in ideal terms, then you are getting closer to your answer.

ps: i keep my dumerils in an 8x4x4, and the whole cage is used, i think a brn would be along similar terms.

i once was chatting with a guy i bought an argus female from. he said he bred prasinus in the 80's in 20 gallon tanks. the ontario zoo came down and said what the hell is this? we keep ours in 20 foot cages and they do not breed. in all of his bragging about breeding, i said, "and?" "i am not impressed by this sir." "my ackies bred on my arm," "i am positive they would breed in a ten gallon," "but what would that mean"

the answer i think, is nothing.

cheers
