You can keep most herps in a naturalistic environment. You just can't keep alot of them. I should post pics of my Corn Snake's vivarium. He's got logs and a tree and even a den. Anyway, the natural one's just take more time to keep clean. I learned a lot just doing a google search for leopard gecko care sheets, for example. There are warnings against a natural setup and those for it. I prefer natural. The bigger and more natural the better. I don't keep alot of herps though. I prefer to watch them move about in a natural environment as much as handling them. That's just me. Do your research online by searching for care sheets for whatever herp you are looking for. Corn Snakes and Leopard Geckos are two of the most commonly kept herps.

Are you asking what plants, etc you can put in a natural viv. for leopard geckos?

Or are you asking about other species that can theoretically be kept with leos?

The answer to both questions would have to be yes. I would like sources for some plants and animals. Maybe not nessicarily leos, but if I could get one new leo (my current ones are to dear to me) and maybe a 40 gal breeder, I was thinking I may be able to house it together with another desert/rock reptile.

Suggestions?

african fat-tailed geckos are closly related to leopard geckos and they're care is very similar so they might be able to be housed with leopard geckos. But i've never expierenced this and don't have a lot of expierence with fat-tails so don't hold me to my word, i wouldn't even attempt it unless someone has positive records of this being done.
