what to do with my 6ft aquarium?

[beney_boy]

im moving my long-finned eel into a different tank and this leaves me with a beautiful 6ft long x 2ft high x 1.5ft wide aquarium. any suggestions for what to keep in it? im after a lizard or monitor more then likely.
cheers, ben.

beardies are great first reptiles, and then theres water dragons they get nice and big,and if you want a monitor i would go for a ridge tail or a gilens.

Just don't forget that glass isn't the best material for obtaining heat!

i was thinking of moving my water dragon into there but the last time i tried a tank with a large water area he went skitz and almost drowned himself. even though hes called a WATER dragon, he hates the stuff. i was thinking something along the lines of a water monitor but i read up a bit and they would outgrow too quickly. ridgies were next in line or beardies but i really wanted something rainforest looking.

yer i was planning on either saving for universal rock background or even attempting to build my own from foam and general purpose cement.

was thinking that but i only have a basic license. would have been nice to get one though

 

[bfg23]

apply for an advanced or whatever you need and go for it.
They are awesome, and cheaper than most monitors.

File snakes are great! perfect for a 6ft tank....

 

[geckos_are_great]

would love a croc but they get a little bit big for my liking

and the fact parks and wildlife would probably make you wait till you are 18 before they let you get one.

Get a freshwater croc or a mertens water monitor, both would be great in that tank.

And why do people feel the need to just post "lol" ? :?

i dont have a clue either. mertens is the most popular at the moment, but wont it outgrow the tank?
