I would have to say nothing. Reptariums flat-out SUCK. You can't put heat lights on them; it will burn a hole through it. They don't hold heat or humidity at all. The only possibility is maybe a cham of some sort, if your experienced enough, but the size is a bit too small.

I have a reptarium, and the only thing its good for is letting reptiles get some natural sunlight.

yeah its def hard to heat and a lil too small for chams, plus i not too experienced with them. do you think a pair of anoles would be ok? like you said def good for natural sunlight, unfortunately i keep T's not lizzies!

anoles wouldn't do too well. They like high humidity, so unless your whole room is humid, you can't keep it up.

reptariums tend to melt or burn with heat lamps anyway
