what would u do?

[Qickshot]

what would you do with a 75 gal and limeted funds? just tore down my fish tankand i have desided on getting a iguanna from the LFS but is there anything you would do with it instead?

 

[What]

get a RTB(red tail boa), or BRB(brazilian rainbow boa).

edit:

or maybe even a varanid of some kind. or a couple of blue tounged skinks.

 

[Qickshot]

haha i have a RTB i kinda want something a little larger that i can gold. plus orange iguanas are kinda differnt everyone have green

I vote fill it with hermit crabs.



Seriously tho.... I would SO make it into a really cool biotope and have like 80 dart frogs in there. THAT would be phenominal.

As far as things you can hold, beware the territorial Iggy. Cute when their little but some of them can be nasty (meaning stitchs in the hands from tail whips nasty)

I personally think sandfire bearded dragons are AWESOME. Redxsandfire crosses would be gourgeous. Just get yourself like 2 females and one male baby and you could even start a breeding project!

heres all the color phases:

There are various frog species you can put in it, and with that much space you can put in multiple fire bellied toads, or even a bunch of leopard frogs. Other ideas would be fiddler crabs, or even newts.

Hedgehogs are interesting critters too, dont know if they are costly though?

i would have to lean toward a reptile species or snake lol....the BRB would be a great addition to any collection, or a tree python......or create a large scorp land scape!!!!

 

[Barbedwirecat]

LOL I actually breed hedgehogs, PM me if your ever interested. I'll have a new litter soon. The think with hedgies is I've noticed they do alot better in a wire cage- I have night in rabbit/guiniespig cages with plastic bottoms, easier to clean cause gosh their poop is sticky.

there some good ideas. iguanas seem kinda hard to take care of but i think im willing to take care of it. i know iggys can be very mean but so can my tarantulas ol. i like bein scard to hold something. still not sure if a iggy is what i want exactly tho. oh heres a new thing. whats the easyiest thing to take care of in a 75 gal? but still a good pet? i think im goin with iguana

 

[What]

easiest?

hermit crabs.

IMO the best:

adopt a burmese python.

What are you going to do when the iguana outgrows the tank? And, if you're looking for somethng on limited funds, they are NOT a good choice. They have to be fed a wide variety of fresh veggies and fruit every day. Those grocery bills get expensive.
Breaded dragon is a great idea, as is a BRB. Neither would outgrow the tank and long term care is easier and less expensive.

i can make a tanke 10' by 8' by 6' in about 2 seconds. the vedgies arnt bad around here i can get em cheap or from my garden

 

[mcysgirl]

I say make it into a terrarium with lots of different animals that get along and eat the same things. That would be really cool ^__^ here's a couple of links.

i turned a 75 gallon into an aquarium with a small male florida cooter(turtle). he destrys everything but seems to leave the fish alone...very pretty

 

[Qickshot]

i have a turtle and im not doin to mct with fish anymore

I would put a mix of compatible smaller lizards in there. I have a 40g breeder with 2 fence lizards and an Eastern Glass lizard. The variety is nice. You can make a very nice looking habitat with a 75g.
