Hello, this isn't necessarily a frog question, per se, but I was thinking about getting a 20g long tank and was wondering what handleable reptile i'd be able to fit comfortably in there. I was hoping for something tropical, but if not, I'm sure a leopard gecko or some darts would fit alright?

Not too much in on any non dart terrestrials, but maybe some types of chameleons, tropical snakes, maybe someone else can chime in, but just some ideas.

OK editing that. I'm getting the 40 gal breeder tank from petco and I'm hoping not to have to relocate whatever I get once he/she gets older. I was looking at water dragon's but they're waaaayyyy too big at adult size for a 40 gal and the tank would be just too ginormous to fit in my apartment. Maybe this will help open up my options.

as for handable, snakes, leopard gecko, skinks, MAYBE a bearded dragon, small turtles, etc...

Blue Tongue Skinks, if you can find a Northern are fantastic pets, I'm also very partial to carpet pythons... i guess you could call it an Australian Addiction.

Both Blue Tongues and Carpets are very easy to care for and make interesting and intelligent captives.

Beardies and leos are good, but they are desert.. What about a ball python?

Crested gecko, gargoyle gecko - both very handleable and both like wet.

20 gallons for a blue tongue isn't big enough and they are DESERT creatures.

However, pink tongues (and I just saw some for sale on faunaclassifieds.com) would work - very nice animals but would do best in a 20 gallon flat, not tall. They will climb but are terrestrial basically.

both of those are arboreal....

Did he want the tank horizontal? Missed that.
