What small lizard can I keep in a 22 gallon reptarium(metal mesh habitat).?

Question

Most have humidity issues.
What about some kind of Anole or a Swift?

What kind of anole would strive?
Just a normal green?

Would a Paludarium setup be suitable for an anole?
I would put very little water in there and grow plants.

Answer 1

I have Nevada Horned Toads. Very cool pets! They thrive easily with UVA/ UVB, a heat lamp, some sand and a heating pad and basking rock. They like to eat harvester ants, and if you don't have any in your own yard, you can get them over the internet.

Answer 2

What percent humidity do you have? Anoles still need some. If you get some type of desert lizard - I had african flat rock lizards- and some geckos are suitable for low humidity. I had a chameleon in an open mesh cage, I just needed to keep a plant in there and mist him in the morning and he had sufficent humidity.
I would suggest getting a humidity gauge and figuring out what your's is before deciding on any pet if you want them to survive for more than a couple weeks. Desert ones are the best if you don't want to do that or have low humidity. Anoles probably need at least 40%, Chameleons need 65-90%.
Not sure on the swifts- I have never had one of those species.
Bearded dragons usually do fine in dry humidity as well, as long as they have a water dish.

Answer 3

I am not sure how big 22 gallons looks but you can keep a bearded dragon in a mesh enclosure. They are desert lizards and do not need the humidity. They do need the heat, so get it right by using a thermometer to make sure there is a warm enough basking place. They are calm and make great pets as they will ride around on your shirt if they are used to being handled. You can also feed them pellets and avoid those nasty crickets. Mine has lived for almost 10 years on the pellets and is still doing fine.

Answer 4

an anole or conceivable a house gecko yet maximum animals thats to small. you should probably destroy out with holding a smaller style snake in there like possibly a milksnake notwithstanding it absolutely relies upon how a lot less than a 10 gal is it? like a a million gal or perhaps 5? or more beneficial than 5 yet less than 10? lol and NO a chameleon can't be saved in a 10 gal or a lot less they want a minimum of 25-30 gals till it really is a pygmy chameleon veileds and panthers and jacksons get quite vast jacksons and veileds get round 2 ft and panthers probably even more beneficial. and chameleons are quite severe priced and complicated to keep alive. so in case you do not have the money to get a more beneficial cage do your self and the chameleon a want and do not get a chameleon. also no bearded dragons dang human beings do you do not have any understand for animals they want a 20-40 gallon and that i'd not even settle for that i ought to do a fifty 5 gallon those animals want room to flow! bearded dragons get round a million.5-2.5 ft and thats no longer small that's no longer vast both notwithstanding that's thanks to major for a 10 gal GEEZ

Answer 5

Those enclosures are crap. Not only is it hard to keep humidity in but they also let out the heat. And anoles need 60-70 percent humidity.

Answer 6

you can keep two or three leopard geckos in there, and they will get no bigger than about eight inches in length. They do not get very big. Also they do not need any special light. Only a heating pad under the tank. Very simple to take care of too.

Answer 7

yes you can keep an anole in that kind of enclosure. the good thing about the anole is that they do not get big, the biggest is about 6-7in. good luck
