Question
Hi Pam!
I have a 29 gallon aquarium that I am thinking about using for a terrarium. I was considering getting some lizards for it but cant decide what would be best. What are some good Lizards that you would recommend that wouldn't outgrow a 29 gallon tank? I was considering between Leopard Geckos, House Geckos, Green Anoles, Bahama Anoles, and Crested Geckos. Any other suggestions? Thanks in advance for your time.

Answer
If you are looking for lizards that will ejoy a terrarium environment but not handling, go for small anoles.  They will do better without much attention, be aware that they eat bugs, so if you do not want to keep supplying insects, then stick to plants only.
