    Help me choose something to house in my 20gallon

    I am going to move my BP to a 40gallon enclosure soon, so I will have an extra 20gallon tank. I want to get another critter to put in his 20gallon once he moves out, what would you guys and gals reccemmond?

    Ive been looking into geckos like the crested gecko, leopard, african fat tails, white spotted, and gargoyle geckos. Maybe a corn snake or a milksnake. What else would you reccemmond? I am going to a reptile show in 2 weeks so im sure they will have lots and lots of critters

    I reccomend you get what YOU want, and get the right sized tank for it, not get something because it fits in a 20.

    Corn snake, rubber boa, kenyan sand boa, king snake, children's python (possibly. don't know if those things need a bigger tank when full grown), leopard gecko, armadillo lizard, crested gecko (maybe tilt it on its side so that it's really tall but not too long, the gecko would appreciate that) ... maybe a frog? lol

    i can't get another tank, i am already getting a larger one for my BP. but perhaps whatever i get can stay in the 20gallon for a few months before he needs something larger

    Re: Help me choose something to house in my 20gallon

    What sort of things do you want your new pet to have? (ie temperament, color, size etc) There are many snakes I know of that'd do fine in a 20g their whole life, and a few boids. Give us some guidelines, and we'll shoot you ideas.

    Re: Help me choose something to house in my 20gallon

    well im looking for something that can be handled occasionally. size would have to pretty small if they can stay in a 20 gallon long too which isnt a problem for me
    i was looking into leopard geckos (i read that these are very easy and don't mind being handled, lots of people reccemmond these guys), white spot geckos(don't know anything about these, but they look cool), armadillo lizard (i read they don't like to be handled though), corn snakes (they have awesome colors).

    im trying to get as much information as as many critters as I can so when i go do the reptile show in 2 weeks I can pick something out without having to worry about how big they get or how their temper is
