Hey guys, I've posted on my Ontario reptile forum, but I thought I'd ask you too.
The tank that I have for my Leopard Gecko was bought by my boyfriend, and while it is a very nice tank, with doors that open (that are raised a bit) and special vents and all kinds of good things, it's also quite small. The tank dimensions are 12"X12"X12". The arrangement is working right now for my leo, as he's tiny, but I know it wont in the long run.
My boyfriend doesn't like the idea of my getting rid of the tank, and thinks the leo will be fine in it forever....so one of the methods of negotiation which I'm considering is getting a used 20gal long and a new pet that wont outgrow the small tank. I might end up selling it, but I really don't want to hurt my boyfriends feelings....i wish I could just keep the little guy in his tank and he'd be happy.
So? What fits in a tiny tank? I estimate the gallons to be around 7.5, and like I said, it's a cube (with an undertank heater, and light, etc) so something that climbs a bit might be happy.
