dude i think you might just want to slow down a bit. you are talking about the second largest lizzard in the world. it will cost you at least 4-7$ a day to feed and requier a cage that costs at least 4000k. i dont know how old you are but in my opinion untill you are moved out and living on your own buying a water is the dumbest thing anyone can do. just a week or two ago you got a balck throat. what happened to it. i would wait till it was full grown before i would even think of buying a water. because a water will get 2Xs the size of a black throat.


a water needs at least a 100 gallon cage withing 9-10 months. if you buy a 100 gallon tank that is about 900. or if you build one it will cost you about 300. i am mainly fearfull that in one years time you will have 2 lizzards in the 4ft range that each require a cage that is 8ft x8ft. and a year after that the water will need a cage that is 15-18 x 8-9 ft. i am dedicating a hole halph of a basement to my water. that will cost about an extra 100 a month in eletricity and 100 a month in feed. thats right at least 200 a month. that is more than some peoples car payments.

rember this is just one man opinion. but i am just verry scared you will get in over your head.
