I know of of people who have 'free-roaming' tortoises, tegus, or iguanas that technically have an enclosure, but due to their large size are often allowed to roam about and interact with their people. I've actually seen dog-lot like fences recommended for some of the larger tortoise breeds provided that their owners live in an appropriate area so that their pets can roam a larger space.

It can be done right, like I'm sure it is in Tank's case, but I can see how it's very easy to do wrong as well.

Unless you live in the south, where your house is hot/humid all the time, a house is not a suitable home for a tegu or iguana under any circumstances.

Tank had a full meal of fuzzies yesterday and went to bed early.
Here he is late in the morning getting up. This is his favorite blacket.
It usually takes an hour for him to get up and hit his water. He likes to stretch out and look around before.
This is also the time when the kids get down and greet him with a leg rub of neck scratch.
I would also say that Tank is potty trained. Not that I trained him but he always hits his water when he's got to go.
This is a once in a lifetime experience with Tank.
I've had snappers before but they never allowed all this hands on time. They also didn't seek me out just to hangout.
I wish you all could meet and experience this wonderful animal and member of our family.

The person I was talking about lived in the Orlando, FL area at that time, so his were probably okay. I've never kept lizard-type animals of any sort so I don't really know much about them.

"Blaze Phase Goins" Kingsnake eggs I got early this morning. 17 in total which surprised me since never even skipped a meal including last Sunday, and didn't appear to be large enough to have more than just a few eggs in her. I figured 4 or 5 max based on her size and that she's a first time mom..

Boy was I wrong haha..
