Yeppers:

leopard geckos
or
tokay gecko
or
crested gecko
or
crock gecko
or
fat tail gecko
or
leaf tail geckos
or
anything that is nocturnal basically. Nocturnal reptiles dont need natural sunlight (although it never hurts) they just need heat and a calcium supplement that has a D3 vitamin in it. MAke sure to do your research on whatever you choose.

if your talking about a thirty gallon long tokays are out of the question unless you set it up to where it is vertical.here is a few more suggestions
a pair or trio of gargoyle gecko
a trio of flying geckos

hope this helps

Flying geckoes are the BEST! the probleem with trios is that i have heard that females beat up on eachother...maybe that is if there is a male present? Im not sure tho.

well a pair of flying geckos can live well in a 10 gallon so a thirty gallon should give them room to stake out their own territories.
