What can I get for this terrarium?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I know you said you're not big on insects, but what about some type of rare praying mantis? i've seen some pretty interesting species for sale over here which all seem to stay really small, so that would almost definitely work in a cage that size?

Otherwise, might be an idea to list some of the things you definitely DO NOT want to keep to narrow down the field...

-EDIT-

Or maybe something like a Pygmy Chameleon might work? although possibly more effort required?

Do u have pics of a Pygmy chameleon? That sounds awesome. What is a 'rare' praying mantis? I have actually never seen a mantis close up in person or in pics online. I might have no idea what I'm talking about.
 
That looks like a stick dyed purple. Like a moving orchid flower. Definitely sounds boring, especially since preying mantis don't really move. And I probably need live feeders. And I can pickup an orchid at costco for 15$.

You've successfully reduced your list of potential inhabitants for that enclosure to almost zero (maybe even zero).
 
Ok I've done a little bit of background searching on pygmy chamelons. Max size varies from 1/2" - 3". Is their anything important about them I should know?
Are they poisonous, endangered, get too big, can I keep multiple, etc?

I can do live feeders. I didn't say no I just said id like to explore other options first. Crickets or eathworms are fine. I don't have any problems whatsoever feeding those. Its the frozen/live mice, spiders, cockroaches (gags) and stuff. I said that as more of a 'hindrance' than a 'can't do that'. Because it can get expensive, messy, etc.

Don't they need live food?
