actually you could keep a pair of Leos in their for life
If you want a over bred female and a copple of very stressed leos:screwy: Seriously leo geckos need way more space then that, I would say a 30 gallon is minimum to keep a full grown leopard gecko. Same for fat tail geckos. Not space to roam, no space to properly termoregulate, no termal gradient for that matter, no space for them to get away from each other,etc. A copple of fire bellied newths of the smallest species may however do, as well as one, preferably male african clawed frog, a trio of dwarf clawed frogs, many tarantula species will do (obviouly only one;)), some smaller stick insects, one small to medium praying mantis, etc.
 
thanks everyone for the responses I just have to choose now.
 
One of the most underated reptiles IMO is the Egyptian Sandfish. It is a very small liazrd that "swims" in the sand. They are very cool, very simple to keep (deep sand, and although I offered mine water of course I never really saw it drinking any) no need for hides or decorations of any kind and a good heat pad generates enough heat since they can burrow right down to it. They are also cheap, the going price seems to be about $15 U.S. They have become harder to find but I see them on kingsnake once and a while.
