I understand this, that's why I said the size might rule them out.



As far as what could be good for a 75 gal tank....... I have a Cuban Anole (Giant Knight Anole) that loves his 55 gal. They can grow to be up to 2 feet long, and really really pretty. Mine is half that size, and he's already spectacular. Very easy to care for too! I have tree branches and live plants inside the tank that make a nice peice of "art", so to speak, when he isn't as active or is in his hide during sheds. I also have a Tokay Gecko in the tank with him as well, that utilizes the tank during the night time. I've had marble geckos and golden geckos inside the tank with the Anole in the past, but, he's proven to be a tank bully with other day-dwelling lizards.. as male Cuban Anoles are very territorial... except to a female Cuban Anole.
Yes, the Anole and Tokay have had some "fights" if you want to call them that. They don't really do much damage to eachother, and "fights" are extremely rare with them, at least with mine. They tolerate eachother, and co-exist, so it makes for a nice daytime/nightime settup.

But, you'd have to start with the 75 gallon immediately, that's the only downside.
