I currently have an unused tank that I plan to turn into a bioactive terrarium and eventually add a reptile to. Previously I was considering housing some dart frogs or tree frogs in it, but after doing some research I’ve decided that the enclosure size and features are not the best fit for that. The tank I have is a vertical enclosure, as it previously housed a crested gecko before I upgraded her to a bigger tank. More specifically, the tank is a Thrive vertical hexagon enclosure 20 gallon with a height of 22 inches. It is front opening and has a metal screen lid on the top. I’m considering keeping day geckos, but I have not done much research yet and was wondering what other reptiles I should consider/ what would be good fit for my tank size. I’m not picky regarding reptile diet, nor do I mind having something that does not want to be handled. I would love something that lives in a more temperate or tropical environment, just because that the type of plants I enjoy keeping and I plan for this to be a bioactive terrarium for quite some time before adding any reptiles

I currently have an unused tank that I plan to turn into a bioactive terrarium and eventually add frogs to. After doing some research I am heavily considering building the terrarium with the end goal of housing dart frogs in it. However, after briefly looking into types of dart frogs, i’ve noticed many “beginner” dart frogs are terrestrial or semi-arboreal at best and prefer width to their enclosure over height. The tank I have is a vertical enclosure, as it previously housed a crested gecko before I upgraded her to a bigger tank. More specifically, the tank is a Thrive vertical hexagon enclosure 20 gal. I’m wondering if there is a dart frog species that would thrive in that size tank and prefer the vertical space or if I should look into getting a different type of frog instead.
