OK, so Karl bought a nice 29 gallon tank from a co-worker, it has a really coarse sand in it right now - which Karl seems to think he could use for SOME kind of reptile - big sigh.

I told him I'd ask on here what would be a good reptile to house in this (he doesn't want to use it for cresties, he wants something that we don't already have) (we have ball pythons - of course, a leopard gecko and a crestie).

"I" would prefer something that doesn't really require special UVB lighting. He seems to think that chams would be easy to care for, but from what I've read - it really depends on the species.

I'd like to find something simple to care for (as I'll likely end up being the one caring for this animal). So - can you suggest a hardy reptilian animal for this tank? I need to know what to steer him away from in Daytona.

What about a sand boa? I'd like to decide on what type of animal and do my research on them BEFORE he makes an impulse buy.
