What is a good reptile/amphibian to put in a 10 gallon tank?

I have an empty 10 gallon tank that is divided in half with one half being water 6 inches deep and the other side being 6 inches of dirt. There are various live plants and a fake log on the dirt portion. I am looking for a herp that would live comfortablly in this tank. I can add a filter if necessary. Must not be a picky eater or require a large amount of attention. Previous tennets were wood frogs, grey tree frogs, green tree frogs, american toads, mink frogs, and green frogs. Looking for something different.

I would think that the only thing that would not ever need a biger tank is a fire belly nute or a paddle nute. Fire belly nutes only get 2 inches big they like to have water and land or rock. Paddle nutes get about 4inches long. These are cool little black lizards. They will enteract with you. They like to watch you. they don't like to be handled much though. When I am interacting with mine I always am remined of that cute gicko on t.v.

A frog is something that can live in a little tank also. I have a fire belly nute and a fire belly toad in the same tank. It's a ten gallon. I've had them for three years now. They are called fire belly because there stomachs are orange spotted and they are said to be posinious if they are raised in the wild. They are not posinious if they are raised from a pet store.
Reply:red earred slider would be excellent for water and land. leopard gecko if you make it all land/dirt no water.
Reply:A small garter snake would be ok-even a corn snake is going to outgrow that. Maybe a newt or a salamander.
Reply:slamander, gecko, almost any kind of frog, certain snakes. my friend has a Whole Bunch of reptiles.
Reply:There are many animals that would love this set up. A small snake, frogs, toads, leopard geckos, anoles, other small lizards, salamanders...ect.
Reply:trya slamander, or leopard geckos 15 for aleo would be better but make it all dirt and one leo would be okay
Reply:Your best bet is going to be sticking with frogs. Anyother rept./amphib. is going to need more space than that. You can try some anoles, but that's about it.
Reply:anoles or gekos
Reply:fire belly toads, or fire belly newts
Reply:Firebelly toads
Reply:put two frogs a male and female and after the lay egg you can sell the babies and get maney.
