    Considering getting a frog or another lizard

    I have a nice glass cage and tons of additional supplies. Probably just about enough to have an entire setup for another lizard or frog. Does anyone have any recommendations on species to look into? The cage would be more suited toward a frog or lizard that prefers to climb (no more chameleons).

    I just purchased a 24x24x48 screen mesh cage from lllreptile.com. I also got a lamp stand and a 8 1/2'' ceramic light fixture for the bulb. I order a 75 watt bulb. For a cage this size would this bulb be to weak or to strong? Hopefully it will be just right. What wattage bulbs do you use in...
