What can i put in an empty 10 gallon tank?

I want a snake or amphibian than can live in an empty 10 gallon tank that i have for its whole life.
NO LEOS lol

Pixie Frog, Tomato Frog, Anole, Fire Toads, Newts, Fire Skink(possibly), Garter snake, Ribbon snake...

Those are just off the top of my head. :)

A fish.

I was going to be a smarty and say 10 gallons of water. But since you said snake or amphibian I think Argentra ideas are good. Or a stuffed snake. :P
Darn it couldn't help it had to be a smarty anyways. :D

ROFFLMAO i was going to say the same thing LOL :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hey, what's wrong with leos??? Leo's are cool :D

you know what, its people like you that really make this forum less useful. why don't you give a serious answer and if you want to be a smart a** don't say anything at all. im sorry but it's the truth im really tired of answers like this

Come on pat...lighten up. It was in good fun, and others are giving you great information. Smile a little:)

How about a pacman frog? They might get too big, I don't know.
The options are pretty limited.

ok fine, YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. lol =]

Hi,

How do you feel about tarantulas? Or scorpions even?

I mean, you could look up different animals your interested in, instead of asking for the answers, then there wouldnt be the small chance of people answering all goofy like. Especially when your question was already answered when said annoyance was made.

Something must be in the water because Noobs (No offence) seem to be extra grumpy these last few weeks.

I would get a leopard gecko or a tarantula

I love tarantulas and I love scorpions even more, but I live with my mom, dad, grandparents, sister, and 2 brothers and they don't rally enjoy having 6 ball pythons in my room, they would kill my if i brought home a tarantula or scorpion.

What about African Clawed Frogs. Chubby little albinos things, kind of funny to watch. They are fully aquatic though, so that may change your decision.

Wow, the one time probably ever I've made a joke like that on this forum and I tick the person off. Well, note to self, no more joking.

A male western hognose? They're cool too.

The females tend to get much bigger than the males.

I would get a Pixie frog, or a pacman. Very easy to maintain. No filter for water. Just some clean soil etc. It sounds like you're looking for something low key and easy to deal with. At least while you're still with your family. I'd go with one of those two.
Plus I don't know about anyone else but whenever there is a frog in rescue and I hiccup (appearently I hiccup often and everyone finds it funny which doesn't help) all the frogs and toads start to bark. Just thought I'd add.
Rusty

Pacman frogs are neat. They don't move much but its fun to watch them eat.

...hmmm, a human head perhaps, something like that.

:0)

Brandon

i vote for a leo

have you thought about a crab? I had a crab once, they are very elusive, but when you do see them, and see how they change their habitat you cant but feel amused.
Now a hermit crab would work yes, but I was thinking more along the lines of a Halloween crab or maybe a Fiddler crab.
I'd check those out a bit, and they are WAY different and really cool.
further ask on that I guess, I don't truly know if a crab like that is suited for a 10 gal. I'd imagine it would work though.

Hope you was not talking about me....

You could go with a MALE garter snake... a female will get far too large for a 10 gallon. They average between 3 and 4 feet and will suck down several adult mice in a sitting! It's incredible how much smaller the males stay!!

Fiddler crabs could do very well in a 10 gallon, halloween crabs get a little big. Seriously though, crabs are REALLY underestimated as pets. They are so interesting to watch, and feed... really fun to have! Especially fiddlers, with all of the arm waving they do!

Hi Cool Guy,
It's either:
1) A pixie or a pacman frog
2) sometype of crap, hermit, fiddler possibly a christmas
OR:
3) a Human head.
It's up to you
What were you personally thinking of putting in there?
Rusty

what about a sand boa?

Can you provide the maintenance of a sand boa, Husbandy? etc?
Rusty

is that directed towards me? or like a hypothetical question to the original poster? :rolleye2:

Or does said person.....Only need to care for what is manageable...
Maybe an Argentine Horned Toad is right up your alley. They are not boring. They can help you learn about amphibians, and reptiles in general.
What I love about "filling" 10 gallons here at the rescue is watching and learning.
I don't care where or who you live with.
When you can respect what type of herp(s) that live with you and learn from watching and caring for their husbandry. You can then become more advanced in the care. To me it is never a "status symbol" and to the people in the industry I can say it's not to them either. Everyone is always learning all the time.
That said.
If I had a 10 Gallon to fill. I would LOVE to have a Pixie Frog
http://allaboutfrogs.org/info/species/pixie.html
Look into it. It may be the best bet....

What do they eat?

I'm sure they don't eat ASF rats...

Sinking crab food, fish food meant for scavengers (sinking tablets, shrimp pellets, etc), and freeze dried plankton and shrimp.

Pixies need a 20 as an adult as they get quite large and they might not run but they do move 100% more then horned frogs. I love my tiny dune geckos. Of course a retic would fit well:)

Ok, I don't know if they would fit, probably not, but anyone ever think about "Christmas Crabs"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_Island_red_crab
When I used to run A fish aquatic store my numnut assistant manager ordered them. They were very cool. I did put them in a 30G after some research. But I don't know if one can live in a ten gallon. Anyone have experience?
Rusty

Judging by the size of that crab, I dont think he would be good in a ten gallon. Not sure though.

Male Kenyan Sand Boas could be kept in a 10g for life too.

No offense, but I don't think an adult leo should be in a 10g..

Probably right, I've never had one "in house" but they are quite big
Rusty

That christmas crab definetly looked big, or those blades of grass were huge!
Now before asnakelovinbabe and I go get a pair of fiddler crabs, what about some hissing cockroaches?

Hissers are mint. I used to have a large group but somone, (no not me, somone whose name starts with varanid...) ate them all.
There are a varietty of roaches that are apperently pretty cool. But if Mom and family aren't comphy with arachnids, I couldn't see roaches winning big either.
Rusty

Agreed, that and the bad rap with roaches, where if there is one in a tank means there will be thousands in your cellar.
