Default Lizards Living Free?

Hi all, has any of you lot got any free roaming lizards?
e.g House gecko`s loose in your house? or maybe a large monitor roaming free?
Me ive got a free roaming toitoise, a house gecko some where and a large Tokay! yes you read it a large female tokay, she`s a git, she lives in the conservatory and yes its heated!
just wondered if anyone else has done anything as crazy as me letting a Tokay loose! lol

Hmmm depends... once a large lizard gets free roam it can become agressive as it thinks the territory is belongs to it.

Also theres a case of meeting the animals needs, burrowing, humidity etc.

Just a couple of things to consider there, personally i don't think i would, but it does work for some.

The only thing that annoys me is 'my bosc lives in a 3 ft viv, but hes aloud out everyday'

Your tokay idea sounds pretty cool! How do you find it works? how do you feed him/her?

I think humidity would be an issue there.

feeding the Tokay is easy, ive got a huge water dragon enclosure and some terrapins in the conservatory as well, so there is a few locusts that always escape, the tokay just mops em up, and once a fortnight i`ll leave a pinkie in a regular spot for her, its always gone, as for water, well thats easy, when she opens her gob to lunge at you, just spray the little beastie.....and it also gets quite humid in the conservatory....
