what to put in my new 50 gal. tank?

[rhino43grr]

any suggestions? i just got a 50 gallon aquarium and i'm trying to decide what to do with it... i figure i could move Leo into it once i get a bigger uth for it or leave him in his 20L and eventually get something for in the bigger tank, what do you guys think?

measurements are 48" x 12" x 18" and it has two 24" hoods and lights

50 Long?

measurements are 48" x 12" x 18"

Must be a 50 long, huh? Very nice. ***Hey, you can put a bunch of stuff in that tank. What do you fancy?..... Take care. Enjoy. HJ

That is to small for a beardie. They do better in long and wide enclosures. Such as a 40 gallon breeder or something with 4ft length and 2 ft. width.

that's big for a leo, but it's roomy enough that if you wanted to house a few females in there, they'd have plenty of room to roam.

Beareded Dragon Sounds Good, 20 gallon is defentilay big enough, for a leopard gecko.

WIth 12 width, beardies cant even run around and turn without hitting both sides of the glass...

yeah it's a little narrow, but it was free so i can't really complain. would it be tall enough for gargoyle geckos? i was thinking about putting a divider in the middle because it seems like very strange dimensions for a reptile except maybe a snake, but i'm not really into snakes anyway.

what about a crested gecko(or maybe more than one, i haven't really researched them, i don't know how much space thay need)?

gargoyle geckos are really cool. Set-up and care is basicly the same as a Crested Gecko. Crested geckos are cheaper normally but I like the Gargoyles more.

well the minimum for a crestie is 10 gallons so you could probably fit a small group or about 3-5 cresties in there. I saw this picture that has a really awesom setup for his cresties. Heres the link if you wanna look-
