are you serious? why not? you could get a blue tonged skink or a frilled lizardIm not a fan of beardies. :c
Ehh I used to like them. But then I became annoyed by the constant fact-- they were EVERYWHERE. Not only that I'm more of a fan of "pudgy" looking stuff. So I like turtles, toads, frogs, etc. Frilled lizard? Could you even keep that in a 40breeder?are you serious? why not? you could get a blue tonged skink or a frilled lizard
I actually like crested geckos. So I MAY look into those. I'm wondering about stuff like:Hmm... well, you could get a couple (maybe about three) geckos (all females) and make a nice big communal gecko enclosure? They come in a lot of nice colour morphs, and a lot of the good sized species (leopard geckos and crested geckos) take well to human interaction if that's your cup of tea. Most female geckos do fine with communal housing, though there are some species that are pretty territorial even with females, so look that up beforehand.
Personally, I don't think hermit crabs are the best as pets. Not to bash hermit crab owners, it's just that to be honest they are so hard to maintain, and my friend had some MONSTER ones that outgrew all the shells she could find, and were a challenge to maintain because they chased after you if you so much as reached in there to do anything. They're pretty cool to watch, but I wouldn't keep them personally. It's all up to you though!I wonder about how big a hermit crab can get. But like I look at the care and its like friggin' rocket science! I looked at crabstreet j ournal. It's too complicated and I can't even keep up with the information because its more information that I ever seen been given for other pets.
It is possible to keep a Russian tortoise or a hingeback in a 40 breeder, I believe.I'd love to keep a tortoise but I doubt it's appropriate to keep one in a 40breeder. I guess I just want something that isn't going to hide all the time.
will they be active? I was told they become depressed in tanks...It is possible to keep a Russian tortoise or a hingeback in a 40 breeder, I believe.
I'm pretty sure there's shells online for sale that would be large even for the largest of hermit crabs. They are hard to keep. but Im told they can be very rewarding at the same time. Personally I'm not sure if I will. I'm suppose to get them slowly adjusted to the perfect conditions. It's ALOT of information to take in. They are cool to watch. I'm not interested in holding one. I know how to handle them though. So I'm not bothered by one of them chasing me. Big prob is they prefer large groups. So 20 of em is fine in a 40breeder. Even 40 of em.Personally, I don't think hermit crabs are the best as pets.

Proper diet, proper lighting, extended time outdoors in the hot months for direct sunlight should help prevent this. T-rex's 160w UVB is a good, powerful source that I have used to maintain uromastyx, tortoises, bearded dragons and other reptiles in need of strong lighting. Zoo Med's PowerSun is comparable, but I prefer the T-rex brand.will they be active? I was told they become depressed in tanks.
how long should they be outside for? I'd prefer keeping an eye out on them if I let em freeroam outside...Proper diet, proper lighting, extended time outdoors in the hot months for direct sunlight should help prevent this.

A few hours. Monitor them to keep them from overheating. Don't use glass outside as it magnifies the heat and can easily lead to fatal conditions. Use a pen with a wire roof to house them unattended (but check up on them often). Take into account that they can dig under your barriers for the pen as well.how long should they be outside for?

Personally I'm debating myself between tortoises or hermit crabs. I'm pretty persistant. So either one will do. but i guess Ill look more @ it later. Im too tired to keep reading. I been doing researh btw.A few hours. Monitor them to keep them from overheating. Don't use glass outside as it magnifies the heat and can easily lead to fatal conditions.

At this point, I'm bowing out. A lot of these questions could have been answered through independent research. Please, I don't mean to be rude. Asking for suggestions is great, but finding your own answers will be more rewarding. Hope you come up with something satisfying.
Blue tongue skinks are great lizards, a lot of personality. Okay, now I'm done.
Yes! Mesobuthus martensii as far as the eye can see!A large colony of scorpions
