1)what type of reptile should i get?

2)what supplys should i get?

3)will two of them fit?

4) any other details you could give?

Answer 1

Get a Komodo Dragon.

Answer 2

One anole.  Or possibly 2 fire-belly toads.  That's about it.

Adult leopard geckos require a minimum of 20 gallons, so not even one would be comfortable in your tank, and certainly not 2!  No snake stays small enough either, nor any other lizard, and definitely no turtle/tortoise.  Either get a bigger tank, or limit yourself to very tiny reptiles/amphibians.  Or you could try a tarantula or scorpion, they do well in 10 gallons.

Answer 3

Dude 10 gallon isn't even big enough for one reptile. Seriously. Either buy a new tank or DON'T buy any reptile.

Answer 4

Since you want to keep it in a 10 gallon fish tank, I suggest you get a leopard gecko, and one only. Leopard geckos are great beginner reptiles and relatively easy to care for. They also stay quite small, so they can live in a 10 gallon tank. Most other reptiles need at least 20 gal.

If you want to get two, you need a 20 gal. tank or bigger, and if you're planning on getting a leopard gecko, you need bedding/substrate,  a night basking bulb (they don't really need day basking bulbs), a screen lid, a bowl for water, a structure to hide in with moist substrate in it, some decor (rocks, driftwood, etc.) so it can climb around, some calcium & vitamin powder supplement (to put on its food), and live crickets & mealworms so it can eat.

These are the basic requirements for one. If you're interested, please look up more information on Google as to how to care for one.

Hope that helps! =D

Answer 5

Get a gecko. They are easy to care for...two will fit...get a lot of plants...rocks....a small bowl with water....rocks....a strong light source...mulch bottom....crickets....a hollow log to hid in or to get some shade. Oh an interesting fact...they're tail can come of and grow back

Answer 6

You should try getting 3 or so house geckos. They are very small so that would be perfect for your tanl.

As well as get sand, a small water dish and crickets for food, as well as a hut for them to hide, and a heating pad.

The males may fight so try to get 2 females and a male, or just females.

The more I can give you is have fun and good luck. Oh and feed them about a dozen small crickets every week.

As well they do not overheat and die wtf? Whoever said that is lying....they are reptiles, they need heat to survive.

Answer 7

you shouldn't keep reptiles in a tank as they can overheat and die

Answer 8

the best reptile for that are green anoles.. small, and a good beginer's reptile but the only problem is, they don't like to be handled for these babies, you must provide strong branches for climbing and provide them with water by misting, they won't drink from bowls..

Answer 9

1. for a begginer

gecko

bearded dragon

water dragon

small iguana

2. buy crickets and mealworms.

fruites

vegtables(no ice berg lettuce)

at bleast 10-20 gallon home

uva and uvb rays lamp

a basking area

water bowl

food dish

some sort of plant

3. of course they will i have 2 iguanas and a beardie in the same cage.

4. get nails trimmed

expect few scratches and bites

note: if your a guy and buy a female iguana shell try to mate with you. if your a girl with a male iguana youll get raped by him. my freind has a 7 foot male who attempted it.

Answer 10

Hello; in regards to snakes; most male Kenyan sand boas, male Rough-scaled Sand boas, male Western Hognose snakes, and male Rosy boas can live quite happily in a 10 gallon. All four snakes are very well-mannered, small, docile, low-maintenance species that are great shedders and great feeders. Females of all of those snakes would be fine in a 10 gallon for between one and two and a half years; but would eventually need to be upgraded to a 20 gallon long.

Here are care sheets for all of them. :)

As far as lizards go; have you considered a Viper gecko? They are small, docile, easy to care for, interesting looking little animals that would do quite well in an enclosure that size.

Here is a care sheet for further information on them. :)

Leopard Geckos and African Fat-tailed Geckos ar also very small, handleable, low maintenance, interesting and have the added advantage of being more readily available to purchase than Vipers are; but both of those species will eventually need to be upgraded to a 15-20 gallon long as a 10 gallon is a bit too cramped in my opinion for even a single adult.

Here are care sheets for both of them, as well:

As far as supplies; for any of these animals you'll need a secure, locking lid, two thermometers (one for the hot side of the tank, one for the cool), a hygrometer, at least two hides, substrate/bedding of some kind (this depends on the species), a water dish, and some form of heating appparatus made for reptile use (under-tank heater, ceramic heat emitter, heat lamp, etc). And while not necessary; a small sterilized branch, faux plant, or a fixed rock formation will not only make the cage more visually appealing and give the animal something to climb on; but in the cases of snakes it also gives them something to rub against which aids in the shedding process. If you choose a Gecko species; you'll also need Miner-all or a similar mineral/calcium suppliment.  

I hope this helps, and if you have any further questions at all on the subject; please feel free to message me and I will be happy to assist you. :)

Good luck!
