What can I house in a 3ft viv?

[sukbountyhunter]

Just incase there is not any rankins at the Portsmouth show in October, i'll need somthing else. Anything that can live in a 3ft viv (preferably diurnal) or anything maybe in a 3ft high viv. Any suggestions? TY

I forgot to add, I'm only looking for handleable ones

Berber skink or, at a push, a pair. They're wonderful, much better than any nasty agamids. Failing that, why not have a look at fire skinks or a pair of fat tailed geckos?

Hmm, been looking at them and they look promising. Any other suggestions people?

I don't know, they're only little aren't they? The gradient would be hard to produce but I would think 3x2x2 would be enough space for an occelated

i wouldnt, as said temps hard to gradient and a healthy occelated would use more than 3x2x2 space if given

So would any animal though. If I gave my crestie a 6x6x6 viv she would use it. I think as a minimum 3x2x2 would be fine for an ocellated if a gradient could be achieved. It might require a raised basking spot to get the high temps without heating the cool end though.

"You should house one specimen per enclosure (unless breeding), this being a minimum of 3ft when adult."-from Ocellated Uromastyx - Uromastyx ocellatus

Don't worry I'm not getting one because their quite expensive by the look of it but anyway thats just what that site says.

Any more?
