State of chaos
So I found a rubbermaid crate/tub under my bed, and out of curiosity I put some air holes in the sides, like to make a Herp enclosure. It's really small... 15x10x7... so there's not much I could put in it. I can only fill it up with water up to 4" or so, because that's where the ventilation holes are. I am thinking:
Firebelly Toad x2
Redback Salamander x3-4 (only problem is keeping it cool enough)
Spring Peeper x3-4
African Dwarf Frog x5
Write-in candidate :grinno:
What do you guys think?
 
Pygmy Chameleons... oh my God they are so cute... lol
 
Chameleons are very cool. My friend in gradeschool had one, but she left her brother to care for it, for 2 days, and he left the heat lamp on 24/7 and killed it. Although I need something cheap here, lol
 
How are you going to heat the tub? Depending on how you do that you could keep some of the smaller ground gecko species like Dune or Vipers.
 
I could, in theory, hook up a heat pad, although money-wise it would be easier to get some kind of temperate dwelling Amphibian.
 
Go defenetly for one of the amphibs you sugested, pygmy chams are very tricky to keep healty and they have naturaly short lifes. Fire belly newts are owesame and correctly kept they live for a long time. But remenbar that they are poisonous so carefull if you have kids around.
