New Enclosure. What Should I put in It?

Here is my new enclosure. Built from scratch. I need help deciding what to put in it. I already have cresteds and leopard geckos. And no anoles or day geckos. I was thinking maybe a MHD. I am going to a reptile expo in a few weeks. Any opinions on the cage or what to put in it would be great :)

very nice enclosure! but for mhd they need humidity and FLOWING water or they wont drink. also how big is it? and how much did it cost to make something like that? i made one that is 4ft high by 3ft wide and 3ft deep for my water dragon. looks very nice :D

We had the old tv stand already and the old reptarium doors already. The basement sealent cost like 7 bucks a can (used to make the mountains/rocks) and the rest of the stuff we had lying around. Im sure you can get an old tv stand really cheap.

What are the dimensions? I was thinking a collared lizard maybe or some smaller skink species.

Im gonna estimate and say 36" L and 18" W and 24" H. I think collards like it hotter, but I was thinking maybe some fire skinks or plated skinks.

since that cage holds less humidity than what you need for MHDs or most lizards.
than you should be thinking about getting some kind of desert species.
