Hi All,

Well I'm off to Hamm next weekend and fancy picking up something a bit unusual to work with as a side project to my main interest which is chondros and emeralds. I have a couple of ideas in mind but would be interested in your thoughts.

Ideally I'm looking for a species which fits the following criteria;

1 Is not (mainly) arboreal.

2 Stays relatively small (less than 3 feet).

3 Would be happier at cooler temps than most species. Room temp. in my flat ranges from 23-27C due to all the other heating for the rest of the collection. I like the idea of keeping something that would be happy with my room temps and wont require additional heating.

4 Does not require a DWA License.

Look forward to your suggestions!

Stuart

Crocodile skinks? I don't really know about the heating side of them though sorry.

In that case a sand boa? Theyre small right? But I think they would want extra heat wouldn't they...

have kept them before...thought they were very boring to be honest with you and yes they need a higher hot spot temp
