Default What would YOU keep in this Viv??

Have this spare viv and don't know what to put in it,
I don't want to have to end buying a new bigger viv for the out-grown resident(s)

I reckon Geckos maybe? The Missus wants frogs.

Question is What would YOU keep in it that wouldn't out grow it????

Stupid answers welcome but serious answers more so..


12"D x 24"W x 18"H (30cmD x 61cmW x 46cmH)

Deffo not....chams cant be kept in glass. Its gets too hot, they need lots of ventilation and if they see there reflection they will get stressed out. Plus its way too small they need at least 4 ft high mimimum. x

I would definitely go for some dartfrogs...that viv would look awesome if you spend some time on setting it up. You can get some beautifully coloured darts!

you could create a fantastic paludarium with that, and as above mentioned, darts would look great

Personally, I think leos would be wasted on your tank, as it is arboreal. Leos are ground dwelling. You would be better off looking at tree frogs, or arboreal lizards.
