Help me fill an empty viv

[Dude123]

Hey everyone. I guess this will be a follow up to the thread below this one. I've got an 18x18x18 Exo Terra that was being used as a grow out tank that will soon be empty. I'm not too well versed on the smaller options for this size enclosure and was hoping you guys could help me find some ideas.

My first thought was a male hognose or sand boa but I'm not sure if this will be big enough. I've also been thinking about cresties or maybe a pac man.

Any reccomendations for me?

Thanks!

Cresties. One male would do great in that.

Cresties like millertime said or if your thinking pac man ...
you could do a nice planted viv and get a nice species of dart frogs... I have anice little collection of these too :) started with one :-/ they are just as addictive lol

the 18 cube makes a nice planted vivs

I'm with yeloowtang.

1 crestie (male or female doesn't matter) or a planted viv with dartfrogs or perhaps another type of small gecko such as day geckos, mourning geckos, neon blues, ect.

The question to me is, do you want to handle it, or just make it a pretty setup?

Even a leopard gecko would do pretty well in it I'd say with the right decor arrangements and heat spot.

Let us know what you decide! ^_^

I always tend to lean towards snakes, which is why I first though Hoggie or Sand Boa, but I'm not sure if there is enough floor space. almost the same amount as a 20 long but the lack of length concerns me.

Leos are another species I considered. Already have both a heat mat and lamp set up on this enclosure so it should be pretty much good to go for whatever I decide on.
