I have a 20 long tank with a hinged screen lid. My hamster just passed and my boyfriend does not want me getting more hamsters, mice are a no go, and I currently have gerbils.
So I have this BRAND NEW set up ( just bought the tank and topper new last week) that I would like to use for something. I would like a pet that I do not need to use any outlets and that can be handled. ( No aquatics please, I have enough of those in mind lol, I do not want to go that route at this moment)
I do not want snakes and I really dont want to have to upgrade later.
Reptiles, amphibians and mammals are all options. ( i know amphibians really shouldnt be touched but I will still consider them)
I know this is a frog forum but I also know many of us keep other pets as well.

I already tried googling and I couldn't find specific species ...
I am looking for something that can happily live its life in a 20 long and is not arboreal, Preferably with a main diet of pellets or earthworms.
I am not limited to just frogs, if you know other pets that fit this description let me know please

Oh that's too bad. I can't think of any other frogs off the top of my head, but what about a salamander? There's tons of other terrestrial reptiles out there, what are you looking for?

I want an pet that isnt aquatic, is low maintenace, most salamanders you won't really see. I am considering it as a nursery for a hatchling box turtle. I like pets I can just watch and that are low maintenance and preferably would require no special heating or lighting, The turtle would require me to move the tank But its a pet I have wanted for years so its a maybe.

Do you mean electrical outlets? Because that kind of rules out reptiles and amphibians since they need a heat source (and many need UVB lighting too). Unless you just get another rodent you'll probably have to buy significant accessories for the tank to make it suitable.
I just worry, because they do grow to need a lot of space.

Mole salamanders dont need heat :P
I did consider tarantulas, I do like them, but boyfriend says NO lol.
There are some low maintenance animals I already know of that I would just need different substrate, but I know there have to be options I have not considered.
I do know a turtle breeder and this tank will be moved soon ... So I am looking at a terrestrial turtle as a possibility, i would just be getting a hatchling.
I am in no rush to get an animal, especially with the weather being unsuitable for shipping.

I just looked up that scientific name ... Dad had two but being male they of course didn't live long.
Hedgies need a bit more space than a 20 long. They are cool though.
