most ppl use it has a day thing. I've seen different herps living in these 24/7, but it all comes down to what you want to put in it really.

what do u recoment to live in there all the time? or better yet not to put in there

It looks to be more of a durability kind of thing rather than a what kind of animal is/nt suitable. Some people like to live all their lives in a tent.

i've seen things like diamonds in this sort of thing, you gotta take intoaccount where the animal is found. Thatcage would have a lot of ventiliation and not keep the heat in, more through a basking spot.

i've also seen beardies in this sort of thing.....

I wouldn't keep any animal in this permanently, except maybe insects, but I don't keep those. Most (if not all) reptiles would rub their snout quite severely if housed in those permanently. I find them more just an effective way to give dragons exposure to natural UV light.

I personally wouldn't use them at all for lizards, as Simon said they would probably make good enclosures for insects such as spiny leaf insects and maybe frogs.
