Uses for empty tank?

Someone just gave me a 55 gallon tank measuring 13 x 21 x 48 and I was wondering what people would suggest I house in it.

That's an awkward tank for reptiles... Dimensions are off, maybe arboreal or land geckos? A large colony of anoles? Garter snake, but it's a bit big. Frogs?
plant it out and do something.

With a few mods it's perfect for many snakes. http://www.redtailboas.com/f140/55-i...pinions-67266/

Start a fern collection, and call the tank a Wardian case.

Mist with rainwater only, if you have hard water. I learned that the hard way when I was trying to keep a collection (in of all places, the moonscape of El Paso, TX) The more I misted, the worse they looked. Eventually they all perished. Fortunately, many ferns sold in small pots are inexpensive. Miniature orchids are nice too - but that's way out of my budget.

You could, of all things, put a fish in there.
Does it hold water?

I thought about doing that a while ago when petco had tanks 1 dollar a gallon.

Put it on the floor of your snake room and drop all your spare change in it. When you get it filled up you can buy a really cool quad gene female ;)

If you can make a plexiglass top for it, you could keep a Savu python in it. They like to climb so they would use the space, and they're very thin so the fact that it's narrow won't be a problem.

I was drinking my coffee it occurred to me....

Do a throwback to some newts!! Haha go old school with it :rofl:

I was thinking this as well. She said they tested it but I don't think they did and I can always buy sealant 😉 otherwise, how about a beardie?

How about some Axolotls ( up to four in a 4' tank supposedly ) .

Amazing creatures , come in a few colours and eat earthworms .
