my personal opinion those dimentions are not big enough to house a large lizard maybe a youngster but then a larger enclouser should be surplied at a later date.

I agree with Jo, if you want a large lizard your going to have to get a bigger viv. Have you thought about beardies, blue tounge skinks medium sized lizards.

well you could go two ways u could have a trio of smaller lizards Leopard Geckos, Fat-Tail Geckos and Tokay Geckos or popular Brown and Green Anoles (Anolis sagrei and A. carolinensis), European Podarcis wall lizards and the smaller Cordylus species or medium species such as Bearded Dragons (Pogona sp), Blue-Tongue and Monkey Skinks (Tiliqua and Corucia sp.), Plated Lizards (Gerrhosaurus sp.), and the larger European lacertids (Lacerta sp.), plus less commonly-kept but often sought lizards such as the giant New Caledonian geckos (Rhacodactylus sp.), dwarf monitor (Varanus sp.) and various other members of the Agamidae family.
