 Skinks?

I recomend monkey tail skinks. They are very unique creatures! They can reach 28" however mine is 23" and presumably full grown. They are so interesting to me because they bare live babies instead of laying eggs, gestation is 7-9 months. They also only eat fruit and veggies, so its cheap and easy for food for them, just pick it up with your weekly groceries. They have a long tail almost the length if not longer than their body length used for climbing. (They are arboreal i.e. live in trees) So you tank will have to be tallish. They are also one of the few reptiles known to care for their young and live together instead of alone.
