Hello,

I was wondering what I would be able to keep without a real tank or cage.

I was thinking about doing something like buying a big bushy plant and putting a praying mantis in it. things like that.

I know there would be nothing stopping them crawling away.

I was also thinking of letting a pair of house gecko's go ahead and eat any loose crickets i have around the house, but i'm not sure how well they would survive.

Anyway, this was just an idea, also i'm sleep deprived, feel free to tell me i'm stupid.
 
This depends on the heat and humidity of the room/house they'd be in. Some people do the gecko thing. Some people do that with chameleons, or anoles.
I have done it with iguanas and Tegu lizards. (Be very careful if you do the Tegu lizard, because some can be very aggressive.) Not to mention iguanas as well. But they love to roam and bask where they please.
 
a large ficus with a border around it could have a cham i did tht with my jacksons..and workd rather well just pick up the plant every day and put him and the plant in the shower to mist him lol..
 
Get a Dog:ROFL:
 
I used to have my iguana loose in the house when I was growing up. Got him to poop in a litter box too. The only problem was when he got bigger he would crawl up my moms curtains and destroy them with his claws. Plus he used to go after my dogs.
 
The house gecko thing would be a good idea if you don't mind seeing ***** smears on your walls and ceiling...I used to work at a pet store and we intentionally let a few Tokays loose to take care of loose crickets...cleaning up after them was definitely a chore though...

The nice thing about this kind of thing is that their escaping outside a door is unlikely, BUT the danger lies in open windows. An iguana or tegu can, and will rip through a screen.
