New Addition

Ive been wanting a new addition to my family for a while and I have a friend who is getting rid of a 15-20 gallon wide and fairly low tank. I would like to get a new addition that is pleasant non agressive and maybe avtive during the day. Unfortunately Scorpions, Myriapods, and snaked are out of the question due to phobias in the house hold >.<
any suggestions would be great thanks. (P.S. I have experience with bearded dragon, fat tailed gecko and , a pinktoe tarantula)

Bearded Dragons are not a good choice for that size. You need something that is going to stay small. A gecko would be a great choice.

Hmm, for something active, small, and diurnal, I'd say go with either day geckos or anoles. Just don't count on handling them.

Fairly low like you mentioned wouldn't be good for an arborela. Just how low is it?

Ah, that's true, I forgot about that. Well, you could always turn it on its end I guess. Otherwise, you may want to think about a small skink species or long tailed grass lizards. The grass lizards are terrestrial, but will also climb into low branches. They're diurnal, active, and non-aggressive. If the tank's 20 gallons, you could get by with fitting 2 in there at most.
