any ideas?

well money and time isn't a problem really the tank just seemed a bit difficult to work around (i'm a noob lol). the corners of the tank are plastic vents and the top and bottom are plastic. very odd design IMO but i can try to make it work...

I have no idea but ive always wanted one of those cages for my leopard geckos! lol

HA! I have my leopard gecko in one! I dont recommend them really. If you get one dont count on using substrate the lip to hold it in is like 3/4 iinch and when sand or clay gets where the sliding door is it sounds like someone scratching a chalkboard with their nails. And small to meduim crickets can and will get out through the side vents! Very traumatizing when you wake up to a couple in your bed *shivers*

So then a simple set up is probably what you need Some geckos and snakes would work for it, also possibly lizards/certain types of terrestrial frogs. Just keep in mind that it can't be anything that like to burrow, because of the substrate problem! I'm sure whatever you pick will be awesome!

idk how big the vents are in the corners but you can always silicone over them and still make some sort of vivarium

Thanks for the ideas everyone! I think I'll probably go with something that doesn't require too much heat just the heat from a flourescent which isnt that much. Probably a frog. Any suggestions on which type that would do best at room temp and can live happlily in a 20 gallon?

Toads (Southern, Western, American...) are generally great at room temp. Although they are major burrowers. Wood frogs will do well at room temperature, but they are fairly difficult to keep alive in captivity, they aren't highly adaptable, and they need a pretty elaborate, naturalistic set-up. Pacific Chorus frogs and most other frogs from Southern Canada/Northern United States do extremely well in room temperature conditions All of these options need 10-15 gallon minimum for one frog, and 20 gallon would be excellent for two!
