135 gallons what to do, what to do?

[Jaguargecko]

Okay, I gave a 135 gallon to my uncle years ago he never set it up and well I’m more into Reptiles then fish which is why I gave that tank away. Now, pygmies are obvious I was thinking a huge Pygmy build but what do you all think!? If I go pygmies I would love to get some larger ones like B. brygooi. But obviously something active enough to make use of this huge investment in space. I don’t plan on packing this tank with a ton of pygmies nor do I plan on mixing species. Bring on the good ideas!!!

Gonna suggest a colony of anoles. Why? Because they are awesome.

 

[Jaguargecko]

Lol. That sounds like a bunch of craziness. But I actually keep some anoles and I think they are pretty awesome.

Frogs are cool. That'd be a lot of space lol

A man of taste I see, well post pics, I love anoles.

I don't know what kind you've kept but a trio of Cuban Knight anoles would fit that tank well but they aren't as personable or outgoing as the smaller species.

HUGE leopard gecko community tank.

I think it’d be dope to do a bioactive Pygmy environment. With a tank that size you could do a pretty sweet setup with spray foam and such. I live when people embrace they're creative side. From my understanding, make sure you have the space setup right so that each Pygmy can claim it’s own little nook. Or you could just give a single Pygmy a mansion

Pygmies of course, chinese crocodile lizard paludarium, vampire crabs, a communal species like armadillo lizards... just off the top of my head

So true I could put a ton of thumbnails and mourning geckos that would be a Cool combo that is one of the few species mixing that is okay.

A pair of red head agamas would be neat.

Aren't those venemous? I remember on a trip to tanzania I caught one, and some locals told me they are venemous. Maybe they were just trying to scare me, idk.

Google says no.

Little frogs

 

[PabloTheCham]

well look what google says about the frogs:

"That said, it's important to note here that housing thumbnail dart frogs and mourning geckos is not recommended. The smaller size of thumbnails may make them appetizing to a large and ambitious mourning gecko"

No they aren't, or if they are, it's no worse than a bearded dragons.

Oh. Maybe they were talking about infection. Or they were just having fun with some tourist.

I love the crocodile lizard idea that guy slipped my mind! That would be a fun build too. Hmm that is definitely worth a sketch out and some serious thought. Thanks!

what are thumbnails?

Small dartfrogs often in the Ranitomeya genus

Those are pretty sweet looking!
