    Sweet enclosure pickup, now i need ideas.

    So this weekend i picked up this awesome 55 gal tank and stand for $20 (my buddy was going to give it to me for free, but moraly I just couldnt do that, so I threw him some money) and now ive got a unused tank, that of course i must fill! it will probably be a month or two before i do, but until then id love to hear everyones opinions on what i should put in it! I already have a BP rack and custom beardie enclosure, so id like something different, anyway heres the tank

    P.S. Ive since cleaned it all out (it still has the divider in it, i didnt want to take it out until i decide what i want to do with it)



    thanks in advance for any input!

    It would have to be terrestrial animals unless you have plans on modifying it. I don't think Day Geckos would do well in there it's not tall enough. Maybe some sort of skink or a baby to juvy beardie would do well in there for a while. Leo's would do well. You're going to have to look do something that stays on the ground. Beardies don't stay on the ground but that's why I say baby to juvy.

    55 Gal tanks are pretty tall. I've seen Day Geckos thrive is shorter set ups. Give them something to climb vetically on and keep the heat right and it would be just fine. Humidity would be the only problem in that set up, but it could be solved with a simple fogger on a timer.

    Re: Sweet enclosure pickup, now i need ideas.

    Thanks for the replies folks, Unfortunetly I cant do any fish (it would be to much weight, im on the 3rd floor of the house, and it would be a mess if it broke, ect.)im kinda leaning towards a naturalistic style (frogs, small lizards and such, but i need to figure out how well they will cohabitate) some turtles would be cool too actually.

    as for the folks who said beardie, if i didnt have this



    then I would be all about using it for a beardie. but I think the custom one is better for that

    anyway thanks again I hope to hear more ideas!
