Cresties are easy, as long as the humidity levels are always above 50% it should be fine. A couple mistings a day will prevent the humidity levels to drop as they need a moderate amount, especially during shedding. Plus these guys like fruit as a staple so you can get the Repashy diet for them to thrive on with mealworms, crickets, or waxworms as treats a few times a week.  |
Oh sweet! So now ik i will get a crested gecko or a hognoses

Re: What to get
I would suggest also the Tiger salamander, also completely terrestrial, but one would outgrow the ten gallon eventually. However, if you started with a young one, you could use the ten gallon tank for a couple of years before you would have to move to a 20. Mine is about 8 inches long and I have him in a 20.

Re: What to get
Would a scarlet kingsnake be okay in a 10gal? Because they only get to 2-2.5 ft.

After the small amount of reading I did on the scarlet king snake, it looks like it might be a difficult snake to feed. Looks like it prefers live lizards and may be tough to get one to switch to mice.

True that! hoggies are toad eating machines! I always liked ground snakes as well but don't know if you could find any for sale. I used to find lots of them herping in western Oklahoma years ago. Never tried keeping one.

Re: What to get
I really like those hoggies. If I were looking for a smaller snake that would definitely be my pick. I was concerned about their diets too. If they ate f/t rodents consistently that would be awesome. The tiger hogs are ultra fierce.
