    3ft Cage
    I just got a 36"x18"x18" exoterra cage in a trade and after a good cleaning I want to put something in it. I don't want to put a snake in it because I want something different. I've been wanting a lizard for a while now so I think it's time to get one. I'm already getting a leopard gecko from a friend with a cage so I don't want to do a leopard gecko. I'm thinking about a bearded dragon but I want some other suggestions on what I could house in a cage this size. I understand I won't be able to get anything too large like a monitor or tegu but I don't want something too small either. Preferably I want something I can handle. Any suggestions?

    Beardie is a good choice, they're really easy and pretty fun too. You could also do a water or mountain Dragon, perhaps. But if you've been considering a beardie, go for it, they're great and have so much personality. Uros are kinda cool, but as I understand, they're much like BPs in their pet rock abilities.

    I don't know if 18 is tall enough for arboreal chameleons. That size tank would be pretty epic if you did a planted vivarium with a few dart frogs or something. You might even look into a multi species type thing. Maybe a small colony of dendrobates and a day gecko or two.

    Would it be too large for a group of crested geckos?

    Absolutely not just read about them cuz I'm pretty sure you can't have two males in the same cage

    Water dragons are fun there arboreal and that cage sounds like it would be ok for a baby. But as an adult it would need a much bigger enclosure. Males normaly get to 3 feet in length and females get to about 2 feet in length

    I don't think you are going to want an animal that needs 60% to 90% humidity in that cage

    I'd go with a couple uromastyx or a group of leopard geckos, though it's a lot of open air for leos. You could try Leachie geckos(Rhacodactylus leachianus), they are like cresteds but bigger. Saw them at a herp expo and fell in love casue they around the size of a beardie with the look of a crestie.
