Free Tank
OK so I was at my dad's and he told me that someone he knows is getting rid of a 50 gal aquarium and my dad picked it up for free.. how awesome is that?
aside from fish (which i despise) what can we get to live in there? Snake or lizards are both options my only requirements are the following:
- it has to live in there its whole life
- relatively tolerant to handling (not for me, my husband is very grabby)
- fairly affordable
- no frogs
- no turtles
(for those of you who are thinking "hey now you can have your garters" I have a tank set aside for that already)

Re: Free Tank
Oooo what kind of garters are you getting? I want garters for my next snake(s) ans then I'm done. (I hope :P) But to answer your question a corn or ball would be happy in a 50g. Beardies are good aswell, (Though they like bigger). I'm having a brain fart and I can't think of any others. Get a cool one though!

Re: Free Tank

Re: Free Tank
A ball python or a corn snake or a california king snake are all good options for that tank, and all are very husband-friendly

Re: Free Tank
FINALLY
I decided what was going to live in my new free tank! I am going to get a Uromastyx hubby wanted one after we got our bearded dragon and they have some pretty awesome colour morphs once I decide which sub species to get I can determine how many (if I can safely house more than one in a 50gal)
I am excited.

Re: Free Tank
 really?
In my experience kings are one of the snakes that will be calm in your hands, then suddenly latch onto your finger...

There was a blue uromastyx for sale on CL here the other day. Very cool looking animal; they just look so...archaic.
