A new snake maybe
I am wanting to get something to diversify my collection a little. I would like something that I can put into a 10 gallon tank. I know that means I am looking for something smaller. I would also like something that doesn't require high humidity maintenence. The guy at the petstore has a Carpet/Diamond Pythong mix. I was hoping some experts could chime in and let me know what might be best. I am also considering a corn snake. I do not want to make the same ill-informed decision I made with my Iggy.
Thank you

Don't buy an animal for a cage, buy a cage for an animal.
10 gallon? ... Low humidity? ... Hermit crab?

Hermit crabs kill each other. We had one little one that killed 2 larger ones. Pet store told us we could house them together.
And is a Carpet/Diamond mix a real snake? I can't seem to "Google" a search on them.

The only snake I can think of that can live it's life in a 10 gallon tank is a male kenyan sand boa. They can tolerate lower humidity, but you should shoot for 50%.
I love my 3 sand boas.

In my post, hermit crab wasn't plural.

Yes, they are hybrids.. they look like a diamond python but not as pretty (imo). They grow large, definitely not something that'll last in a 10g very long!

I love my Diamond x Jungle carpet but they will not live in a 10 for very long. My girl is in a 30 and shes about to outgrow it. I would post pics of her but the site wont let me.

Yeah, carpet pythons can grow to lengths of 5-7 feet... definately not for a ten gallon tank! Spotted pythons are something you might look into... they stay small. Or milk snakes or kingsnakes... though you need to watch those, too, because some of them get pretty darn large.

Kings and milks generally need a 20g when full grown. Corns also.
