Good animals for a vivarium

[swingalittlemore]

Hey I'm setting up a vivarium at my university and we have a huge tank (around 100 gallons and pretty tall) that we have been working on. Everything is set up logs, good substrate, a small filtered pool (5" by 12" and about 2-3" deep) what animals would do well in there?
We were thinking geckos, would they be okay with the pool? Would green tree frogs be better?
Also, what types of geckos/frogs do well in groups?
Thanks so much for the help!!!

What are the exact dimensions? and do you have any pictures? I mostly know about poison dart frogs, and a little about tree frogs. But pictures would be the most helpful.
Also, are you open to different types of food? like crickets, fruit flies, etc.

I would say photos would help to determine what can go in there. Dart frogs and tree frogs live in different types of areas so your setup would determine which kind to have.

k, I'll get the dimensions for you. Crickets and other live food are fine. I think I'm leaning more towards tree frogs or geckos right now, because no sellers of reasonably priced tree frogs in good condition are within driving distance, but I'll let you know. Thanks for responding

I finally found some inexpensive frogs at a local reptile show and I can bet they were more healthy than any pet store frog. Red eyed tree frogs for $35. In any local pet store they were $75+

Do a google search and see if there are any in your area coming soon.

Most importantly what biotope do you have set up? what temperatures and humidity levels do you maintain in the environment? tropical? temperate? Desert? what type of plants? If you have a tropical Biotope Day geckos might be a good choice. Landon is very knowledgable about them.
