possibly a water dragon, not sure if the wood would cope with the humidity though cos i'm guessing it's contiboard or you could do numerous things if you split it.
geckos, beardies or a couple of 2.5(l)x2.5(w).2(h)

ooh nice size viv.
A colony of Green anoles or even a select few mixed species of anole could go in there.

A group of Giant day geckos.

Its just about all right for the most part for a water dragon, basilisc etc.
Frilled Dragon.

That would be good for a royal python right?

Collard lizard trio, beardies, rankins etc etc
There is an awful lot you can put in that viv so its pretty difficult to say, especially when as you say, it can be halfed or whatnot also.

No, I wasnt joking... I was asking.
I figured royals are semi arboreal, small boids and a viv that size would work.
Fair enough if im incorect, I dont keep any pythons atm as such i do not know.
am i to assume the viv would be way too big?
What do you keep your royals in?

hi dean. all the caresheets say no bigger than a 3x2x2ft viv (which is what i have my biggest one in) as it can cause feeding and agression problems.

Oh ok.
Hmm..if it causes feeding probs [can?] then i guess its cos they dont liek a lot of space which i have heard [but assumed given hides it would be fine as in the wild they would have a huge area... yet tuck themselvers into a small aea within it] if it causes agresion could it be that the space brings out more snakey instincts? and actually causes them to act more naturally? or is it agression from fear and being uncomfortable?

Its an odd one.
thats cool...then it that case would the viv mentioned above, or half of it be ok for a larger boid?
I only tried to think outside "lizards" as that is all had been mentioned, and im a bad one for that, and i noticed the author never specified so was trying to not eliminate snakes from the sugestions.
