Help me choose a reptile

I am looking for a reptile that I can put into my 7.5 gallon cube tank. I know it is a bit small but I am open to a lot of suggestions. I may even be open to arachnids like scorpions, but spiders kind of freak me out (go figure).

I don't own any, but geckos look to be kind of cool... I wouldn't think they would need more room than that ,but but like I said I don't own any so what do I know?

The common species of gecko, such as leopard and crested, definitely need more room than that. As babies, maybe, but adults wouldn't be able to live comfortably. Not to mention it'd be very difficult to set up a thermal gradiant in it. Is there any reason why you can't purchase a larger enclosure?

A single electric blue day gecko,Lygodactylus williamsi, can live in something that size. I think that you'll need to feed them flightless fruit flies. I'm not sure about other care requirements.

There is some pretty cool looking tree frogs out there but they might keep you up at night...

Baby garter snake temporarily. You will have to upgrade though so they can grow out.
