Something in your post caught my attention..you want to trade out your invisible leopard gecko for a ball python display cage....Well, you will find a ball python can just be as invisible as a leopard gecko during the day.

If you are looking for a good display animal people can see during the day, I suggest radiated rat snakes (very active snakes, don't get too big and cool looking), any of the tree snakes (tree boa, tree python) even if they have attitude and are nippy, they are still very cool to see coiled on a branch all day..even if it doesn't move. Tiger rats are good too though they are big snakes, or at least in length, not much more girthy than a corn snake but I believe they reach bout 6 feet in length.

Day active lizards would be great display animals. Day geckos, Tokays, bearded dragons, and many others. It all really depends on how big of a cage you want to set up and if you want to do the extra work to make the cage a active vivarium (bioactive that is) or just a planted cage. Dart frogs are cool too, and don't need a large space, but being amphibians, their care needs are more specific.
