Anyone into these? I've always had exotics but my last reptiles were a decade ago.
I'd like to get into a Ura or a tegu/monitor (I know quite different). GF has forbade snakes and didnt want lizards but didnt rule none at all. So I've also debated going with things i"ve had before that might be better to wean her onto being ok w/ lizards. (Leapards cute and soft tails, or beardeds calm/lazy though prolly ugly in her eyes.)
The ura/monitors though would be completely new to me so I was seeing if anyone had good local resources/people/etc. Local breeders, great stores, or recommendations from online.
Anyone built their own enclosures? If I do the monitor the plan is a coated/sealed wood "pan" at least a foot deep for room to burrow and an overall cage that is a 6x3 footprint, likely on a stand.
