What new reptile should I get??
I'm looking to get a pet at my dads. Unfortunately I can't get a snake. Also, no tranchulas, scorpions, cockroaches, or anything like that. The equipment I currently have are a 10 gallon & 15 gallon tall (stand that fits both), small/medium water & feeding bowls, small/medium hides, lamp domes, a 23ft. 50w heater cable, monsoon rainfall system, and a waterfall (rainfall system and waterfall are in my bci tank but I can take them out if I need to. I am also open to animals that need bigger cages/different equipment, because I have 150-200$ to spend. I'm looking for somthing that doesn't need to be fed a crap ton. I would prefer an animal I can have live plants and a natural set up with, but it doesn't have to be. Oh and nothing that gets to big I'm looking for a small/medium sized reptile. What are some ideas??

Are you fond of geckos? There are so hundreds of different species. I'm sure you could find one that would suit you, and they don't generally eat very much or get very big.

Isn't it recommended not to keep chameleons in glass?

Re: What new reptile should I get??
I was actually thinking about dart frogs or a chameleon... There is a kit that has everything needed for 200 on joshsfrogs & I can buy a all mesh chameleon enclosure for around 100 and I already have everything I'd need for that.

A live dart from vivarium is an awesome show case though.

Hell yeah they are  but I would want to build a fancy background Wichita would cost me another 50 and I have to buy a frog so that would bring my price range of 200 up to almost 300...

I've seen DIY videos of dart frog vivariums that were made a lot cheaper than $200 and looked really nice.

Re: What new reptile should I get??
Look up desert iwagumi on YouTube. I think this tank is amazing. I was thinking about doing somthing like that in a 10 or 30gallon to keep somthing like a leopard gecko in.

Not necessarily. I was at a show last month and they had a whole setup for about $75 and frogs for about $25 each.
This place has some great frogs: Josh's Frogs - Largest online herps feeders and reptile supplies store

I'd put a leaf-tailed gecko in that, amazing tank.

A Rhac! You can have a nice planted tank and they don't eat a lot. You just need an MRP.

I wouldn't keep a leo in a 10 gallon its whole life. 30 gallon would be better. That's an awesome setup, though it would also need a humid hide somewhere in there.

I'm pretty sure all leaf-tailed geckos are arboreal and require high humidity levels.
