Hi,
I know this is the iguana board but know that many of you have other reptiles besides iguanas so figured id ask this here. I all ready have Rex my iguana an am NOT looking for another he's enough of a handfull lol.

So im intrested in getting another reptile (not snake). My criteria and I want to be sure there IS something that can do in these conditions before I even start looking into that particular reptile.

Able to live in 10 gallon aquariam, requires little to no handling, daily care not a problem at all, cage cleaning be able to not have to be every day, feed can be of insect variety OR vegtiables, no feeding of pinkies. Undertank heaters not a problem, uvb requirments not a problem either. Basically I have an empty 10 gallon tank, had fish but our last ones passed on and not intrsted in getting more fish. Would like something lively to be able to set and just enjoy watching everyday.

i would suggest a pair of tree frogs. not a lizzard but they dont like to be handeled and are easy to take care of. plus if you get just the reg green tree frogs they are only like 5 bucks each.

A Leopard Gecko would be a good chocie for you. They don't have to be handled everyday, but will perfer to be handled everynow and then as adults. They need and undertank heater. They eat bugs. They are minimal care. They are kinda clean. They poop everyday so will require spot cleaning. They eat mealworms, crix. that Kinda stuff. You can spend alot of a REALLY bright orange one or a little for a normal speckled one. They are both beautiful to me. I have 6 of them. My boss has 104, but he breeds them. Check out the Leopard Gecko forum if you are interested or give me an e-mail and I can direct you to some good sites.
