Re: New Here!
Hello there DX.
Not sure about a 7 gallon tank. Maybe some frogs? What do you like? Get one and then ask "How big of a tank do I need for this?"

Re: New Here!
Im really into pets and animals so I dont really care what I get as long as its easy to care for and it doesnt hurt me. Ive been thinking about anoles or leopard geckos, but my budget is only $50...

Re: New Here!
we just got a Leopard Gecko this weekend and we originally had it in a 5 gallon. little small.
We moved into a 10 gallon today. A lot better. A 7 gallon may work |

Re: New Here!
7 gallon is too small for a leo or anole. 10 is minimum. You can't get a proper heat gradient with anything smaller than a 10 gallon.
You say you have $50, but what about ongoing care? New lights, feeding your animal crickets/mealworms/superworms, buying new things like cage carpet or new hides when they need to be replaced? The most you could do with a 7 gallon is have a single Firebellied Toad. However there is a lot of cage maintenance with one. Its best to ask what you want, do your research and then meet the animal's needs.

Re: New Here!
Welcome to HerpCenter. With that size of tank your options are extremely limited.

Re: New Here!
Get a fire belly toad....they require work but one toad is like 5 bucks and then after all the the stuff you need in his cage you'll have money left for food so.

Re: New Here!
with $50 I could buy a 10 gal... But then my budget for other things would be extremely limited... Yes, I've read the care sheets and know the long term costs. $50 is just the start up cost, I will spend more money on my herp in the long term. I'll try and get a cheap 10 gal of the internet.

Re: New Here!
Stick with toads then when you get more money go for a leopard gecko because a 10 gallon is BARE minimum once you put all the stuff in their home they barely have any room to walk so when they adult theyll probably want a bigger cage
