lizards that can live in a 10 gal tank

[lindseymeder16]

What are some lizards that can live in a horizontal 10 gallon tank their whole life? Besides pygmys. I'm thinking about getting rid of my fish tank and putting something else in it.

Small geckos could do well in there. A single leopard or African fat tail geckos could do OK in there (although I personally believe in putting them in 20 gal L). Perhaps some of the tiny day geckos could as well, although I'm not sure if they require more height than that - they very well could.

Perhaps a couple small frogs could as well.
Those are the creatures that first pop into my head, but I'm not an expert on frogs or day geckos, so I can't say for certain.

Thanks. Yeah i dont wanna cram a leo in a 10 gal. The day geckos are adorable! I might look into those if they are inexpensive

A pacman frog or u could get a pair of Electric blue geckos. they are the size of ur pinky!! Super tiny and electric blue!

I thought those had to be in verticle tanks?

Anoles and house geckos, tree frogs/fire bellied toads for amphibians.

 

[KatiLemons]

not necessarily. I have seen them in horizontal tanks.

get one of the conversion kits and make it vertical

You could go with a panther gecko or 2 or 3 (Paroedura pictus) if you kind of like leopard geckos. Similar beast, smaller and forest floor dwelling- they like cooler temperatures and dead leaves.

Where do i get the conversion kit? And panther geckos sound awesome!! Have you owned them before?

 

[fluxlizard]

Yes I have. They are very simple- I didn't use special lighting or extra heat- but maybe the room got up into the low 80s sometimes, I don't remember. They breed like clockwork and there are striped morphs, etc available from a few breeders.

Do you mind if I PM you with some Q's?

 

[fluxlizard]

That would be fine. PM me if you want.
