So if you had 'unlimited funds' to build a habitat for your collared friends, what would you create?? Remember spare no expense!!!

I have 7 collared friends, Bugsy, Elvis, Scilla, Thelma, Laverne, and Shirley.

My design for both Bugsy's Hideout and Elvis's Graceland would be the same.

4ft long
2ft wide
2ft tall

A hinged top with built in drop down screen for easy access for cleaning and picture taking with sliding front access. There would be a premade back wall with hides, cliffs, crevices and hangouts. There would be a partitioned area for the lizard dining room, you would place and remove the partition come feeding time. There would a lot of natural rock used with playground sand and natural lizard friendly plants used for decorations. It would be easy to move as it would be on lockable wheels and built from mold resistant, water resistant materials.

I'd buy Arizona. Kick everyone out. Erect 200' glass walls around the perimeter and cover the top with screen.

All your thoughts were very good ones, but David yours was awesome, I love it , :0) hahahhaaa !

Hi guys, nice to see you all!

Outdoor enclosure about 20 feet long by 20 feet wide, walled with a stuccoed/painted wall four feet high to prevent escapes, coverable with a greenhouse during winter to control hibernating temps. Each enclosure would have a boulder/soil mound in the middle allowing the collareds to climb high enough to see over the wall and enjoy a panoramic view. Also allows males to see each other in adjacent pens to get the testosterone flowing during mating season. Small tree like dwarf maple to provide shade without needing too much trimming.

Substrate suitable for tunneling and egg-laying. Allow natural incubation during warm months. Remove greenhouse during summer and let lizards live under direct sun. Entire facility enclosed in heavy-gauge wire to keep out predators like raccoons, hawks. Snake barrier also.

Plus assistants to help with maintenance.

Not that I've spent much time thinking about this or anything.

I see from your post your mind is on some real cool collared homes, looks like they are some lucky kids and have a promising future, lol.

Hope all is well :0)
