What reptiles can you put in a 55 gallon tank?

[CoolioTiffany]

a Bearded dragon would LOOOOOOOVE that tank! a blue tongue skink would like it too! a tegu could live there for a little bit as a baby but you would have to upgrade quickly!

I definitely agree, a Beardie would do just fine in that size of a tank.

They also make awesome pets as well, my Beardie is the only reptile that actually makes me laugh. Even though that makes me sound "off", they have cute attitudes and personalities which make them a great lizard to have.

For a display animal only, you could look into Green Tree pythons, Emerald Tree boas, or Amazon Tree boas.

Keep in mind that each of those snakes have very long teeth at the front that are needle sharp. They use those to catch passing birds while they are perched on branches. They definitely make an awesome display animal, but handling them is at your own risk.

Their color phases are beautiful and they'll sit out in the open perched on branches or sticks that you put in the cage for them. You can also design the enclosure however you want it to look like.

If you're worried about removing the snake from the enclosure, just purchase a snake hook and use it to get the snake out whenever you need to spot clean, fix up something in the enclosure, or when you need to clean the entire enclosure.

I would recommend reading up on them first though and get an idea of what you need to be able to care for them. But please think about your money situation as well, many people purchase snakes that they cannot provide certain husbandry needs.

Here's some pics of each species to get an idea of what they look like, if you haven't really seen them much before.
