I was just given a 55 gal tank and the size is much too beautiful to just let sit there uninhabited. But I don't know what to put in it! I can't have fish because I don't own a table solid enough to hold the weight at this time. And I've love to have something tropical, because it gives me time to slowly build up a vivarium for something humid-loving.
No frogs through! I don't like frogs very much.
I've love a green tree python but I can't justify the cost of one given how mean they are. And hell, if I had $400 for an animal I'd get myself a Faly. And I've been looking into all the gorgeous little day geckos but most of them are so small that I would never see them in a naturalistic vivarium unless I had 2 dozen running around.
So what do you suggest? What is a good tropical tenant for a tank this size? I will then do all the research and decide what's the best fit but I need ideas, I'm out of species to look up. Otherwise, this tank is going to be an animal-less planted vivarium And it'll be so lonely.
