There is essentually 60gal of space for land critters.
The temp is around 80, but can be upped with the addition of a heat lamp or so. Currently the water being heated keeps the air within the same range.
Nothing so big that it will destory all the decor, and something fast enough that if it falls in the water it wont get eaten... Ms Smiley is hungry and will eat anything under 4" long. Or at least something cheap enough that when it becomes fish food I am not too upset.

Some salamanders maybe or some type of frog
 
That doesn't look like 60 gal of space, but if you put some platforms in and if there really is that much space then you could get a water dragon. It would put a lot more strain on your filtration though. Maybe if you put some leafy plants in you could get a white's tree frog, most lizards need UVB so you would have to be prepared to get a tube for that, and a heat lamp for a temp gradient for a lizard. Aphibs would probably be better, but more at risk from your fish.
 
thats a cool lookin set up i think a few tree frogs would do well in there they are relatively cheap out here depending on the color (greens go for $5-6) but i dont know how it will affect the fish in there...one cause i dont know whats in there and two ...well i got nothing for two...i think lizards will be to hard and with a set up like that it would be better to do a type forest dwelling lizard or anoles but you need uv for them and depending on the lizard depends on the air humidity and temp...

The tank is a 110gal Xhigh. There is rougly 45gal of water in there at the moment.
Since fish aren't really that picky about lighting I can easily put 2 48" reptile flourescents in the hood without a problem.
Humidity= LOTS enough to fog up the glass.
Not sure what the heat requirement for the Anoles is. But I could probably ad some of that heated vine stuff to give them some warmer spots if needed. The air temp in there is about 78-80

Oh, and yes, there is a catfish and my Lapradei Bichir in there along with a few survived feeder cichlids.
 
I think a couple of tree frogs will do. Lizards, I can't see being in there without knowing what the humidity level is.
 
Get a big ass frog, one that can't eat your fish because they're to big and that can't be eaten by them because it's to big. Leopard frogs get pretty big and are cool to watch.
 
Why not have something different, like a Lobster! They like being warm, I had 1 in my tank and it kept escaping when it decided it wanted to moult! But we always found it dry as a bone. but when we chucked it back in the tank it just walked off for cover! It was weird how it did that!
 
I think either the fish will make a meal of the molted lobster... or the lobster will make a meal of the fish.
