| | | what type of lizard should I get?
I ahve two bearded dragons and am looking at getting a different lizard(s) to keep in another enclosure.
the enclosure is 4x2x2. Ideally I'd like soemthing which can live in that size enclosure for most of its life. I'd like something which isnt going to be too difficult to keep and something which is interesting. I was thinking central netteds, but I thought i'd get other peoples opinions |

If a small monitor would do ok in that size enclosure, I reckon go for it. Monitors are pretty cool.
