Live terrarium?

[azak323]

My friend has a 60Gal that he is hoping to start a live terrarium in with soil and sand as substrate and hopes to have a few live plants in there like an aloe plant he's got going. What would be some good snakes or lizards that would be suitable for this type of environment? he's looking for a non-aggressive animal.

yeah def a frog environment, I second darts, lots of purdy colors to enjoy yourself with.

are all dart frogs poisonous? and wouldnt sand be bad for most snakes' scales?

Frogs definitely.

Also there are a few geckos too. Most of the different Rhacs, especially ciliatus. He could have a few females in there. Make sure they are females though so there isn't any gecko love going on.

Leaf tail geckos would do great too.

There are quite a lot actually.

Also you'll want to make sure that the height of the aquarium is on the taller side. Most geckos that would thrive in that environment are arboreal. At leas the more commonly kept species.

I have read that Dart frogs lose their toxicity in captivity. Check out blackjungle.com for info on Dart frogs.

Darts are posionous, but not that posionous to humas, as long as you wash your hands after touching them (they dont really liked to be touched much anyways)
