You could get four or five adult armedilo skinks in that or any other king of skinks. Monitors are cool to you could get one of them.

even the smaller monitor species would need a much larger cage as an adult, but you can house a baby in a 50 gallon.

what about a 40...is that ok for a Ackie? a 40 gallon breeder?

Or what about a home made cage that is 2x2x4 ( dxhxl) would that work out?

a 40 is alittle to small for an ackie, yes a 4x2x2 would work, 4 feet of height woudnt work out.

I think most monitors require much larger enclosures that 40 and 50 gallons. I am not 100% sure, but i think the enclosures should be alot larger(at least for adults). I am not sure how many gallons 4x2x2 is but i think that is the min for an ackie. Even going a little bigger woudn’t hurt.

noob- only some of the smaller species of chameleons can, but they are harder to aquire

for collared lizards bigger is better, but if the dimensions are right you could fit a pair in a 50 gallon
