Hey guys, I have been thinking about setting up a paludarium for a while now. The tank size I'm leaning towards is 75 gallons, but I could possibly go to a 90 gallon. What I want to ask you guys about is stocking, I have been doing research on different kinds of reptiles and which ones may be suitable for a paludarium set up, and to be honest, I am kind of lost in it all. I am thinking a couple lizards or a snake, maybe even frogs? Anyways, I am also lost in the aquatic part of stocking as well, as I want something that will be fast enough to get away from the lizards/snake/frogs if they decide they want an extra meal, but I also want some decent size and colour. A standard 75 gallon is 21 inches tall, and I guess I'll split it 50/50, so about ten inches of water. Last question, what should I do in terms of scaping the setup. I was thinking some nice pieces of driftwood that would go both in and out of the water, but I'm not sure what else. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with live plants, but I could try to get some included in the setup. Any and all advice is welcome, I have done quite a bit of research, but there is so much info out there, I'm really having trouble putting it all together.
P.S. I am a beginner when it comes to reptiles, but I know what I'm doing with fish, so keep that i mind when making your suggestions.
Also, mods, feel free to move this to the right place if I have posted it in the wrong section. This is my first post here, and I am still getting used to the forum
