Hi guys,

I have been trawling through my books and the net but not come up with many results as of yet, so perhaps you can help. Cool

I've been planning the layout for the new shed, and am looking for a lizard species to fill a gap for me. I can allow for a viv that 8x3x possibly 4 1/2 high. Preferably something that doesn't require a lot of cricket/locust prey as I'm scared sh**less of them. Embarassed

This aint going to be for a wee while, but I like to be prepared as much as possible.

Tegu or Blue tongue. Won`t need too many crickets then.

I have been power feeding my crickets Ross, what do you reckon?

I do like the tegus..wasn't sure of their suitability as I'm not too experianced with lizards, so would appreciate your opinions on that..

Not too keen on BTSs I'm afraid.

Oh and Peter, I reckon you're a git!! Laughing

They are great lizards Ross..and can become very tame..I do feed mine locusts occasionally but a bulk of his diet is rodents and some fruit also..
