    terrarium that need something in it :)
    Hey guys I was just looking for some opinions, I have this terrarium that I originally bought for my BP before I switched her over to a more suitable 20 gallon tank. Here is a picture of the enclosure that I have
    http://lllreptile.com/load-image/Sto...age/image/1039
    (I just took this off of LLL reptiles site, mine doesn't have the water and everything in it :D)
    I think it would probably be better suited to a climbing snake or maybe a lizard. I'd like to get another snake though, just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction for a smallish snake that enjoys being able to climb around and could use that vertical space more :)
    Thanks!
    Adam.

    Well I would say maybe some sort of lizard or frogs. The reason is that most smaller snakes that would thrive in that environment, are not your typical "beginner" snake. With demanding husbandry and attitudes that would make their size seem almost funny, smaller arboreal snakes are for a more experienced person.

    Crested Geckos :) Awesome little critters.

    There is a forum dedicated to Geckos down towards the bottom. You should totally look into it :)

    This enclosure would be perfect for a crestie (cresties are very easy to keep)

    What are the dimensions of your cage? I know a few people who have successfully kept green tree pythons in those cages after doing a little modification to the screen top.

    Cresties aren't any more difficult to keep than leopard geckos, but they have different needs.

    It's a 12x12x18 cage. I'm not sure if I would go with a green tree python, I don't think the cage would be big enough for it to live comfortably for very long even if I did get it as a baby. But I will definately look into them and see what I can find with a little research.
    Thanks I love the suggestions keep em coming guys :)

    Even easier, no additional heat required (they are kept at room temp), they eat CGD (crested gecko diet) which is a powder that you mix with water, etc........probably one of the easiest reptile you can keep in captivity and one of the cutest too ;)
