Your Opinion for 10 gal and 40 gal

I was just wondering if you all could list me everything from amphibians to insects to lizards etc. That could fit in a 10 gallon terrium and a 40 gallon wide terrium.

Ten gallon is limited probably to mostly inverts but when you get to 40 gal it's fairly wide open. Like Lace says it would help narrow it down if you can say what you prefer, or how much care and time and money you are willing to invest.

Hello,

Ten gallon tanks aren't really great for many species of reptile, but some amphibians would do well in a small enclosure likethat. As mentioned, you have many options in regards to the larger enclosure. It now depends on your interests, how much time you have, how much money your willing to spend on supplies, etc.

As stated it pretty much is going to boil down to what interests you as opposed to just what will fit. Aquiring an animal, just because it will fit, will generally be a disappointment for you. And not a very pleasant life for the animal either!
The ten gallon will limit you severely but the 40 gallon list would fill up pages!

Depends on what he likes, if its geckos, there are several smaller geckos that are darn awesome, but are costly. Yeah Narrow down what you like and we can give you a few more tips.
