A veiled or Jacksons cham might fit. Not to good on chams though. The glass might bug them. A bearded Dragon will go nicely in there if i calculated right. I got 119 gallons. A bunch of Crested geckos would fit in there. Cresties are great little lizards. A leopard gecko or two would fit with room to spare. Just make sure they are two females. A blue tongue skink would work fine. Colubrids such as milks kings and corns would do great. A ball python would work. And so would a carpet. There are lots of things that could fit in there.

PS- if some of the things i put wouldn't work, PLEASE feel free to correct me.

White's Tree Frogs would be awesome! I am absolutely in love with those little guys. I think that would be an awesome idea to put some frogs in there

if it is 4' HIGH and 2' WIDE by 2' DEEP, then its the wrong dimensions for a beadie. they need lenght ather then hight.

maybe a group of cresties?

If you read, the whole post, he says he can turn it so its 4Lx2x2.

You could rescue another beardie, but essentially it should be something (or somethings) that you have time and money for.

Maybe a red eyed tree frog! Those re really pretty!
You need to get a bigger tank for your leopard gecko. A 20 gallon LONG is good.10 gallons,no matter what people say,is too small. Leo's need lots of room to walk around!

You could get a malaysian cat gecko, or maybe a goniurosaurus.

I would not recommend putting more than one leo in the same tank.

It would be an awesome mansion for one leo though smile.gif

If it is 119 gallons, two leos would be probably be fine. Chances are they wouldn't see each other that much.

I suggest some female crested geckos or a group of tree frogs (red-eye, whites, etc.). You could also try a BTS, a bearded dragon or a pair of phelsuma. Are there any torts small enough to live happily in there? Chams don't seem like a good idea because I thought they appreciated homes with more air flow. I could be wrong. It would make a nice tank for your leopard gecko that you already have.. or you could split it in half for two of them.

Two questions though..
1. what's the cage's ability to keep humidity? If you seal the wood nice and tight the humidity shouldn't cause too much of a problem, but it's still something to think about.
2. What are you willing and able to take care of? TariStar is absolutely right that it needs to be something that you have the time, money, and love for.

Whatever you decide, be careful grouping species because some of them cannot be housed in different gender groups and some can't be in groups at all. Leopard geckos for example, I wouldn't suggest placing two in the tank, even two females. They would see each other no problem. My female is in a tank that size (which is 120 gallons) and there is no doubt in my mind that she'd try to eat anyone else that was put in there. She travels her territory nearly every night throughly inspecting and crawling on each item in the tank. So while it's possible, I don't see it as being a good or safe idea.
