Ive had Red Eyed Tree frogs in the past and theyre very easy to keep.
A ten gallon tank will hold three of them ( i kept three in a 30 long )
Theyre comfortable at room temperature
They dont need much light ( Theyre nocturnal )
They need some humidity in their tank but not too much ( Too much is bad)
They dont make any noise at all.
Ten…. fifteen small crickets a week is fine for one. ( male crickets dont chirp)
Only bad thing about them is that they dont live very long in captivity
Id say two years the most so.
Good luck if you get them…… they are very cool to look at and watch at night.

Are there any types of snakes that could happily stay in a 10 gallon tank? If not, is there any kind of reptile/amphibian besides green anoler, house gecko, or toad?
Also, I would not be able to feed the snake mice, frozen or not. I could feed it crickets, fish, or vegatables. mammals are out of the question for food.
The only small enough snake that doesn't eat mice is the Ribbon Snake. These don't get to be too large, only around 3' and 10 gallons would be alright. They can eat fish, amphibians, and bugs.

I think you can deffinately find a smaller species of salamandar which can live in a 10 gallon, but I can't say I know any in particular so you'll have to do some research.
Leopard geckos also do quite well in 10 gallon, provided they live on their own. These are probably the easiest lizards to keep. They eat crickets, with other bugs as an occasional treat. The bugs must be dusted in calcium and D3 powder, and it will help if you provide a dish with this powder for it to lick by itself.

Crested geckos are another alternative. They are arboreal, so if your tank is long, it wouldn't be too efficient. They should be kept one to a 10 gallon tank as well. They require either a homemade food blend or a retail powder which must be mixed with water. Unless your blend offers them their protien needs, you'll also have to feed them crickets.

I'm sure there are many other species of iguanid and gecko that are also suitable for a 10g, but I doubt they differ too vastly from green anoles or house geckos.

Hey, I have a newt and I was wondering if I should oxyginate the water (have an airstone in)? I have one in, but I havent put my newt in yet. Please help.
P.S. The pet store said he was a paddle-tailed newt…
Newts dont exacly breath through gills so the water does not have to be oxygenated but in the wild they live in clear flowing, highly oxygenated streams, and since they do breathe a little bit through their skin, I would reccomend using an airstone.

Please help! I dont know the best way to take care of my African Dwarf frog! I'll definatly have more than one!!
I have 4 African Dwarf Frogs. They are pretty easy to care for, I keep mine in my aquarium with about 8 fish. It's a 30 gallon aquarium. I have the regular filter & the bubbles for air. They eat freeze dried bloodworms, I just sprinkle them in the tank when I feed the fish. The fish also will eat them. I have the regular aquarium light is all. They are fun to watch, they are so klumsy & silly acting. They seem pretty dumb really. They sometimes will fight over food, nobody ever gets hurt. They will spend so much time guarding their food that its all gone by the time they try to eat finally. They are a lot of fun. Good Luck with yours.

Im thinking of purchasing some fire bellied newts and was wondering if anyone had any helpful hints? Can they live with other amphibians? How deep of water? How often do you feed? How many in a 55 gallon tank? any tips would be helpful.
I have 2 yellow spotted salamanders. Water: 1/2 in. deep.
Food: live or refrigerated crickets. Dirt and foliage
