What can go in the Exo Terra 12x12x12?

What snake could live its life in a 12x12x12 exo terra terrarium? I was gonna use it for a scorpion but I had second thoughts after having kids. So now its sitting here waiting for something. I thought maybe a small snake... or maybe something else with out venom.
Know of anything?

A (male) garter snake would be OK. Females get too big.

A tarantula, or a scorpion would work in a 12x12x12!

#1. That cage is too small for much else.

#2. why not reassure people that there is more to garters than black and green stripes?

Chilli Rose would be best in that. Mine is in the same exo & doing fine. Nice & friendly if they do bite its like a large bee sting so unless your allergic to bee stings you should be fine.

Captives seldom musk. Only really scared snakes musk.

Males average 12-18 inches, females 24-30 inches. (however a 24 inch momma with a thick girth can be impressive.)

My females are all sweethearts that never get flighty when picked up.

Males are more skittish, however they put on a neat display, so you observe, feed and take care of, but refrain from mauling them and you will be fine.

Personally I leave my reptiles alone and observe them, constant handling by people stresses them out.

A nice little gecko is the Stenodactylus Sthenodactylus, my avatar is of my male. Females get about 4" and the males are about 3.5" a little smaller than the females. Here is a care sheet on them! I just sold mine, too much egg laying for me.
GGA Stenodactylus sthenodactylus

I would also go with the Chilean Rose Hair Tarantula, Mine is in that exact terrarium, they are terrestrial type of tarantula. Mines a real sweet heart never tried to bite or throw her hairs!

I hate spiders... heheh
I have a leo gecko already. Kinda want a male sand boa. Seems the tank will be ok and if I want to give him a bigger home later on maybe I can. That or a hognose.

Male Kenyan sand boa's are pretty small! There is a breeder in BC I believe.
