Reptile/amphibian thread what's your pet? I got 2 bearded

I got a beardie, but to expand off of that

i have a beardie dragon that is a juvenile right now, and i have him in a 40 gallon breeder, and he is okay with that for now it seems.

but i want to get him into a 80-100 gallon tank size within a few months, and i was wondering what are some good options that you would recommend

I was thinking about building one, but i have no idea where to start, but i have heard its a good route to take. there isnt too much reliable information ive found online, especially on where to get the tools materials needed to build one.

Hey guys I have a question, I need to higher ambient temperatures while keeping a basking spot relatively the same if not a little hotter. I have a 5.5 dome if I got a bigger dome and higher wattage basking light would that do the trick?

>>2281712
I would go with a low wattage ceramic heat emitter over the middle of the tank to boost ambient. 60w should be plenty for this purpose.

>>2281839
It's a chameleon cage so it's got two big screen sides it's very tall so even with the ceramic heater he can thermoregulate fine , but will the ceramic kill humidity? Thats a great idea though thanks

>>2281501
thanks

I have no experience with reptiles/amphibians nor do I want to.
That being said every time I scroll past OPs thread I have to click on the pic of the two lizards, it's just such a great image.

>>2282512
If we can have a dozen threads up bitching about cats then I don't see the harm in two threads about reptiles.

>>2281859
Yes a CHE will burn off your humidity. Not sure what to do with a cham terrarium.

>why?
I don't own or want reptiles and amphibians because I travel for work, am gone for a few weeks at a time, and it's not fair to make my wife take care of animals she doesn't like.

>>2282744
Not him but reptiles are very low maintenance, well snakes are, you only feed them once a week

im thinking about getting a new tank for my skink

but i dont have much room

is a 100 gallon that much better than an 80 gallon?

i know bigger is always better, but i dont have too much space in my current living conditions, but if 20 more gallons is a big deal i guess i could work it in

what do you guys think

Been thinking of getting a ball python as my first reptile pet. Don't want a snake that'll be too large though, so also pondering a corn snake. Any important advice guys?

>>2283245
If you're only going to get one snek i recommend a corn or a rosy boa. Antaresia pythons (spotted and children's) are also awesome if you have a reptile shop that has them in your area. All of those are easier to care for than BPs and all are a lot more active. BPs are beautiful and docile but also fussy about their humidity, very fussy about eating, and spend the majority of their time snuggled up in their hides.
