35 gallon paludarium

[Connor0729]

hi guys. i have been playing with this idea for a little while now. i have this tank in the living room. we tell my sister that it is her tank, but i look after it, so it is basically mine. however, i will still have to ask her if i can go through with this

i would like to turn her tank into a paludarium. i dan't really know what i want to put in it though. nothing too expensive ($60 max, maybe more). i was thinking a garter snake. i can catch them around my house in the summer and spring. but i also want something with a little more colour. any ideas?

thanks in advance

fire bellied toads are colorful
and pretty much any small community fish would work in the water

maybe. they are cool, but i am thinking more about snakes as of now

nerodia are sweet, theyd eat your fish though

 

[Connor0729]

those are very interesting. will definately consider them. thanks

any more suggestions?

 

[Connor0729]

what about some kind of turtle? i don't need fish with them, just so you guys know.

 

[Connor0729]

anyone?

too small for any turtle. I would go for a rough green snake.

any other snakes that would work? kind of a dumb question, but could i keep a milk or a corn snake in there? any thing with colour would be great though

thanks

i know a lot of people that have kept corns in a 20 long...it would work. i guess you could try a rough green snake. and a garter snake would be to aggressive if it was wild and would be likely to eat your fish
