Amphibians or reptiles?

[KPhilly]

I have a 29 gallon, brand new tank I was thinking about setting up for an amphibian or reptile. I would like to keep multiple organisms of the same species in it. I want it to be mostly natural too. Any ideas on where to start?

Well, you could keep an axolotl in there. I'm not sure about multiple... They are cold water, you can feed them earthworms/ nightcrawlers as a staple, or salmon pellets. I really like the leucistic coloring.

Posion dart frogs, gekos and anoles come to mind.

Also tree frogs, leopard geckos, fire belly toads, ect.

Just saw this thread so I thought is contribute. Dart frogs are not easy and not for a beginner. You also cannot mix species or morphs. Some good beginner ones are leopard geckos, whites tree frogs, crested geckos, or anoles.

Hey y'all, just now saw your replies! It's a hard decision really. How many Anoles can go in the one 29 gallon?

 

[cgthebeast]

Maybe 2-3 females. Also a long taile lizard would work

I'll check out one of those! Also, I'm all for a natural habitat. Any ideas on how to setup live plants?

Newts are always interesting little guys.

Are they fully aquatic?

Are they fully aquatic?

It really depends on the individual newt. They tend to be more aquatic as they age, but I've had a few who prefer land more than the others.

What's your favorite type of newt?

Newts are cool I used to have fire bellied newts in a tank that was mostly water with a little island. Paddle tail are cool as well.

Did you use live plants?

I personally love red eye tree frogs, very cool

Cresties are a good choice for that tank. They are cool and would enjoy the height of the tank. They are also handle able.

Actually crested geckos need 30 inches tall in order to keep an adult, they get to be 8-9 inches, and that would be about three times it's length when in reality they need something at least four times their length to climb up

according to Pangea (very knowledgable) 3 adults could be housed in a 29

That don't really bother me.
