looking for a new addition that's not a leopard gecko or fat tail. Preferably friendly(at least won't bite)

The setup is home-made, aprox 20gl size. with slate tile substrate. I would like to stay away from any humid environment species.

FIRE AWAY!!!

thanks

what about pictus? They are easy to keep and easy to breed. Only hard thing with them is getting the females to NOT lay eggs LOL

Here are just two i remembered...if you go down to reptilia in thornhill they have 2 little guys and they could tell you and give you everything you will need.

Knobs are expensive but not too many people have them..They are really fascinating and if you decide to breed them they would be a great investment.

I'm still thinking of it :)

I don't want a breeding trio though. I'd take the 2 females.

I'm still thinking about a crested too....

I won't be getting anything until I'm back from holidays, so mid July. I'll let you know.

cresteds need around 70-80% humidity, 1 or 2 mistings a day does it
