I now have an empty 75gallon. I moved the leos that were in it into tubs, so now its empty. I dont really want anything like fish, but would like something that looks nice as far as decorating/setups go i guess since its in my living room under my tv on the wall. What would you put in it? Any type of lizard, or frogs or whatever! Let me hear your suggestions!

the water dragons need a lot more room than a 75g so I say nay to that
you could try blue tongues, uros, agamas or a group of day geckos

Iguana maybe...I dont know anything about them other than they look cool. hehe

I dont know if you would need something taller so they can climb but if not they're pretty cool

green iguanas can be 4-6 feet full grown... my grandma's was nearly 6ft and the whole back porch had to be converted into a giant cage for him. at least he was fairly friendly... if you had apples.

i vote for a beardie, those guys are adorable and have lots of personality.

I don't know what a hognose would do with all that space! or anoles for that matter. lol, as for water dragons, you could fit one comfotably in a 75. although something higher would be better. (at least 4 feet)

I have an empty 75 and my plans for it for it long term is to set up a brackish palludarium....I know you said you don't want fish....but mudskippers are freakin cool! ...lol I plan on mudskippers, fiddler crabs, bumblebee gobies, a dragon goby, a freshwater flounder, and nerite snails. I will plant mangroves in it as well....I think it will be pretty sweet...perhaps not for you though...**shrug**

Otherwise I would probably do a dwarf monitor...

Whats a brackish palludarium? Guess I gotta do some googleing!lol.....If I couldnt afford something I wouldnt be buying something! Plus the animals eat better then we do, and are cared for better then we are around here!lol....

Im not sure about a snake....I dont mind them, have never actually owned one. Something about them makes me alittle uneasy. Idk....Are there any that are known to be friendly? If thats possible for a snake!

And I only say no water cuz i dont know if it will hold any or not, and dont really wanna chance it. I got the tank and stand for a 100 bucks on craigslist and she had a snake in it. I think I remeber her saying that it would hold water, but I dont have good luck with big fish tanks. I once had a 90 gallon break and flood in an rental house.it wasnt pretty!

Brackish means there's salt in the water, but less than that of true marine saltwater. A paludarium means its part land, part water. I will probably to 1/4 land in my setup.
