Default Faunariums.

Can these be used as permanent homes for any lizards or amphibians? I'd be more interested in getting a lizard this time around but I doubt that could work?

I'm sure they could be useful for frogs like Fire Bellies.

No I wouldn't be interested in getting a beardie, as I know they need a large vivarium.

I personally wouldnt say a leo can live in a plastic faurnarium all its life they are not quite big enough unless you go for a RUB (Really useful box) instead but they dont look pretty. But would be able to house a fair few things in a faurnarium when little.
As for frogs/toads/etc I would imagine anything that needs some form of pool of water would work but the ones that comes from the rainforest and just need high humidity it wouldnt work as there is too much ventilation to hold the humidity in. The only lizard species I can think of off the top of my head that would live in a faurnarium all its life is the mourning gecko but they are super tiny.

If your only going to have a couple of animals then consider going for one of the exo terra glass terrariums instead, looks much nicer and you can have more choice of what to keep, taking up as much or as little room as you want.

Yeah I've considered them Exo ones and wouldn't mind one, but it's all about room mate lol. My room is pretty full up, so I was just thinking about less room.

Mourning Gecko's sound fun. Any advice or help on them?

Go build a viv that fits your available space. The best thing you could do!
