What to get

I will be releasing my wild caught garter when spring rolls around, so I will have an empty 10gal tank laying around. Any ideas on what to get?? I could use another lizard to eat up some mealworms because I have too many mealworms for one gecko. I would also love another small snake.

Yeah haha, mines growing really fast too, she is about to hit 3 feet. I still remember when she was smaller than a foot. I'm probably gunna build her a new tank instead of buying a new one, those exo terras are too expensive haha

Yeah, I thought about building 2 more enclosures but I want to use plastic. Wood works ok but the cleanup and humidity takes it's toll after awhile. I'm looking at maybe getting a 48" wide animal plastic enclosure of some type for medusa.
