In Reply to: looking for a lizard to put in a 35 gal tank posted by frogfreek on October 24, 2002 at 00:07:30:

:I want a lizard that will not out grow a 35 gal tank, geckos are out, they are crazy little buggars that I cannot seem to taime and the little bitty snake looking ones are out because I would like to hold it and not lose it...
:I do have a tank all set with everything but the subtrate,
:any help would be great!


Hi, have you considered a leopard gecko or 2 (or 3)? I know you said geckos were out because you couldn't tame them but my leo is very easy to hold and catch (they tend to move slowly and deliberately as adults). They are also small enough to easily fit a pair or trio in a 35gal. tank but big enough to easily keep track of and handle. They're also very easy to keep compared with some other lizards. If you do decide on a leopard gecko I'd reccomend you find some carsheets online and buy a copy of "The Leopard Gecko Manual" from avs books.
Hope this helps,
~chase
