Insight on snakes/reptiles

Hi all !

I’m new here so I’m not quite too sure how everything works just yet here on the forum but I will try my best. I guess I will just get right to the point of why I decided to join this forum.

I came across a tank which was going to be thrown away. I asked if I would be able to buy it since it was in too good of shape to just go to waste in the trash. I took it home and gave it a good wash, now I am yet to determine what to do with it. I could either consider get new pet or just sell it and use the money for something else. I have been doing some research on what kinds of nonaquatic animals are suitable to live in the size of tank I have, especially at full grown since I don’t have too too much space at the moment. I would love to give an animal a new home. I already own a crested gecko and wouldn’t mind adding another reptile to the animal crew.

I grew up around snakes in the wild and occasionally caught them. Don’t worry, we released them shortly after. I wouldn’t mind owning a snake, my only issue is that I don’t really feel comfortable feeding mice or rats, for personal reasons. No, I am not afraid of either ones. I did some research and read that there are some snakes that don’t require a diet of mice or rats and I was wanting to learn more about those ones.

I believe the tank is approximately 40 gallons. I will of course do extensive research on whichever animal I consider getting but I just want to know which ones may be suitable beforehand so I can narrow down the search a bit more. I am also open to getting another sort of animal that would live happily in such a tank if anyone has better suggestions. I wouldn’t be against handling the reptile but I totally understand if they are more of a viewing kind of pet.

I just want to warn you all in advance that if I am able to proceed with getting a new addition, I will most likely ask a lot of questions and it may get annoying at times. I apologize in advance but I promise you that it is just because I want to know all I can before even considering taking in a new animal.

That’s really all I can think of off the top of my head at the moment but if I think of anything else, I will be sure to update this thread. Thank you in advance
