What would you do?....

Hey guys, I just got a 20 gallon tall tank for free and I was wondering what YOU would put in it.

Thanks,
Alex

I would use it for a Leo or an AFT, but that's me. :P

U could put anything in it lol. some people are good at making tops that can hold himidity for snakes but i am not one of those people. As a general rule i use tubs for snakes and glass for rodents. i have had too many tubs ruined from rodents chewing thier way out.

Not a huge fan of leos (no offense, just not my cup of tea.) and I use frozen rats so I have no reason to have a breeder tank. I am mainly a fan of snakes but I do like some lizards. Keep the ideas coming guys!

Also, if anyone has ideas for a 12x12x18 tall zoo med tank let me know too...

Stepped runner x2 they are a blast to watch. Pretty easy to maintain. Fairly new to the industry and if they take off you got in cheap. Or what I would do (providing you don't have one yet) set it up as a quarintine tank for your next addition. 20 gal tank is about perfect for any size ball especially if its just for a month or two.

hmmm that is a pretty good idea. I do not have a QT tank setup so i might have to think about that.... any ideas for the Zoo med tank?

what are your thoughts on a tree frog? or some kind of anole?

How about a baby Beardie? Although you'd have to get a bigger enclosure later... Kenyan San Boas can live in a 20 gallon (long though), Corn Snakes can also live in a 20.

african flat rock lizards stay kinda small. you probably have to upgrade down the road.

I wouldn't buy an animal just to fill a <$20 aquarium.


If you're just looking for the sake of discussion and for funsies, I'd probably fill a 20g with a baby beardie or modify it and keep dart frogs in it.

:rolleyes: a betta sorority~

I do like beardies, but I dont have space to upgrade their enclosure when it is an adult. I might get a KSB. I have always really liked them and it might be an interesting snake to have.

Yeah, that's one reason we don't have a Beardie right now is that we don't have the room for the large enclosure once it's an adult!
Kenyan Sand Boas are great snakes, I don't have experience owning them but they are cute little guys!

ha...ha...ha...

Turn it on it's side vertically, get a screen cover for the 'top', get a luggage strap that will hold the screen on and in place, fill it with vertical plants and the like (fake?) and get an adult crested gecko.

Fish, id use it for what its meant for, fish. :P

I have my crestie in a 20 gallon tall.

And a display corn in a 20 gallon long.

Get a skink! they are easy and fun! or... a small colubrid! or.... a skink! get a skink... :D

You could use a 20 tall for many things. Cresties seem like the most obvious option, but I think treefrogs might also be cool. You could put smaller treefrogs in the Zoo Med too if you wanted.

Also, a 20 gallon tank for free? Lucky dog :P
