Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I have had a leopard gecko for about three years now and I'm looking to expand to something different. I'm just having a hard time deciding what to get. A friend of mine just offered me a 29 gallon, so I was thinking something like a crested or a tokay that can use the extra height, but I'm still not sure.

Also, the local Petco has recently started stocking 40 gallon breeders for a good price, and I was thinking of picking up one of those.

Anybody got any suggestions for what would go well in either of the two tanks?

My only restrictions are that I want something considered beginner-intermediate on the care scale. I work full time and can't be home to mist/feed/clean four times a day. Also, I would prefer not to go over $200. I also don't want anything wild caught, so preferably something that is frequently bred in captivity.

I already have some ideas, but I came on the forums when I was thinking about getting a ball python three years ago and ended up figuring out a leopard gecko was a better choice. You guys couldn't have been more of a help, and I have been extremely pleased thus far.

Thanks in Advance,
Sam

I would suggest a bearded dragon, especially if you're used to a leopard gecko. They're very friendly, easy to maintain, and you can pick them up and hold them without too much stress on the animal. My boyfriend's beardie is in a forty gallon tank and loves it.

I'm assuming you're thinking lizard again, rather than snake?
