Okay, I give up. What type of reptile should I get? (Has to live in 20 gal!)

[gothkenny]

For a while I have been thinking about getting another snake or lizard after I got my Ball Python and Chinese Water Dragon. Right now I have 3 extra tanks (A 20 gallon, and two 15 gallons) and I really want to get another herp. Now, no bashing, I plan to wait about a year BEFORE getting one, which is enough time to study and gain up the money for whatever animal I decide to get.

So yeah, I'm open to anything but no turtles, frogs.... baisically anything that needs a large amount of water.

Live in a twenty gallon huh?
Corn snakes.
Leos.
Anoles.
Rosy Boa.
Kenyan Sand Boa.
Hognose?

Just some ideas to throw out. :]

can a chamellion live in a 20 they are awesome to look at

Not comfortably. Chams need height and are VERY challenging to care for properly.

I would say:
Corn snake
Hognose
Rosy or sand boa
Shneiders Skink
Fire Skink
Platted Lizard
most geckos

thanks for the info. Ive seen some on the google that blew my mind. Some almost look fake, beautiful animals but i think ill stick to snakes

[gothkenny]

I've been mostly thinking Corns and Leos but now that you mention Rosy Boas I think that I'm going to look WAY more into them! I loved them when I first started in snakes... THANKS! I'll also look a bit more into Skinks and Geckos now that you guys mentioned them.

=DD You guys rock!

[blackcrystal22]

Glad I could help!

[Argentra]

You're welcome.

Skinks ROCK! They are the greatest lizards ever, with Beardies a close second. If we ever move into a larger place, I will be getting a Schneiders Skink at least if not my ultimate: the Blue Tongue.

Go corn snakes!! Rosy boas and sand boas are sweet too. But I have an albino corn and she is awesome. Although I have her in a 10 gallon because she is small.

I have my adult corn in a 50gal, I would feel bad keeping her in anything less, but I can see how that would work for other people. I've had a rosy, hognose, and a Kenyan sand boa - those would all fit in a 20gal comfortably as an adult. The rosy was definitely my favorite of the 3, they are worth looking into!
