Hi Guys! I recently came into possession of a Leddy PAP 60 tank. I have no prior experience to owning small animals such as reptiles, but I do have two dogs(Wildly different creatures, I know.). I have decided (after several days of research and narrowing down what is available to me) to decide between a Leopard gecko( Eublepharis macularius)a viper gecko and a green skink. I was wondering if the chameleon gecko or viper gecko are good beginner pets, or if they would fit in the tank more comfortably aswell. I will get 1 as I read that it is better to only get 1 as a beginner, and I might introduce a second one after a year or so if I feel more confident in my abilities and if the tank is big enough. I know that I would need a basking light, bedding, thermometer and perhaps isopods or small bugs as I read that gecko's also enjoy hunting(or slaughtering?) live prey such as mealworms. Any advice is welcome. Thank you!

Edit:Mistakenly put down chameleon instead of leopard.

Hi everyone! I recently acquired a 20 gallon tank(wider than taller) and I am deciding between a few different reptiles, amphibians, and mantids. I wanted to ask if a 20 gallon tank would be good for 2 green anoles, as I heard that they were not too hard to care for, but also saw that they prefer height. I was wondering if they would be fine in a 20 gallon long tank instead of a tall one, and wouldnt be too stressed out. I also want to know about things that I would need or you would reccomend for them, such as certain basking lights, habitat layouts, or thermometers. I live in Ireland, so items from the EU would not be hard to get, but anything else would most likely be out of the question. Thank you!

Hi guys! As the title says, I came into possession of a 20 gallon tank(the long way) recently. I'm wondering about what I should put in there, since I don't have experience with a previous animal(except my dogs). I'm currently deciding between isopods, invertebrates/beetle's/mantis, gecko's(My mum's choice), frogs, and vampire crabs, but I also want to look around for hermit crabs if there is any beginner friendly ones, or ones that can live in a 20 gallon tank comfortably. I only know about purple pinchers from my research of hermit crabs, so I just want to know if there's any more reccomendations for hermit crabs, or if they're not beginner friendly in general. Thank you!
