i have a spare 2 foot viv atm and i can get all the needed things for whatever lizard i decide to get but i cant decide on what lizard to get. i would not like to change the tank in its lifetime particulary so something small and i could eve keep multiple lizards in there if it suited?

My lizards would all be to big for that, but I dunno about leos or crestys.
We have a few members on here with those, i'm sure you'll get a better response than this soon enough.

if you can find one, get a fan footed gecko, two ft is plenty bigenough, my adult is only 7inches from nose to tail, but make sure is is totally escape proof as they can stick to any surface but teflon (aparantly) he is facinating to watch and is becoming more and more afectionate that i should be able to handle him soon, will be easier with a youngter, Dave was an adult when i got him. only my opinion tho. good luck with reptile shopping

Yep i have leos, you could keep 2 in a viv that size (*note* you can't keep males together so male-female or female-female*) all you need is a heatmat and stat, no uv lights or anything. Leopard Geckos are mega easy to look after however some people find them boring because of this. I recently got 2 more geckos (now have 4) and they have been really great to watch since. Much more active. Might get a nice infer red light for them so i can see a bit more of them actually.

yea alot of people find them boring. i dont. ive had a few over the years. The one thing i would say is get them young, as hatchlings, as out of the 3 i have, 2 of them ive had since 3 weeks old, i find that they have more of a personality, and much tamer then the one i bought at 3 months in a pet shop, probs as i handled the other two everyday since they were 3 weeks

Isn't that weird, they always say you learn something new every-day.
I didn't know you couldn't keep 2 male leos together. Do they get that bad if they're males then?

Males will fight to the death once they're mature bit like beardies. I have 1.3.0 all in together, I also have 6 eggs in the incubator but so far haven't been sucessfull in hatching any. My sis has dibs on the first one if they do hatch, but then i'll be looking for homes for the rest

Male beardies shouldn't fight like that unless they are around a female. I guess it also depends on the dominance of them as well.
My beardies have both tried to be the dominant one, but keep getting knocked off the 'top dog' slot by me.

My Aeris tried to be the dominant beardie, pinning down Siyo Jina and doing the head bobbing, until I done it to him.
They're both wavers now and know I'm the boss. Still have to do it every so often, but any dominant male would have to re-assert himself every now and again anyway.

Shame it doesn't work with the missus.
