55 gallon suggestions

Hey all, I have an empty 55 gallon aquarium that I was thinking of converting into a planted tank. I thought it would be cool to put some kind of reptile in there as well, but I'm not sure what would be best suited. I figured I would mention it here, since it's fun to think about.

Mostly I have two major points: 1. I want it to fit comfortably in the tank for its full lifetime AND 2. I want it to not take my fingers off during regular maintenance.

It would be cool if whatever species could breed too, but that's not all that high on the list.

Thanks for reading!

I'm going to recommend you to check out dendroboard. They have e a lot of great vivarium builds and darts frogs are super cute, breed, a d won't take any fingers

I am about to do a 55 gallon planted viv with a breeding pair of created geckos.

I thought about that, but I'm kinda concerned about feeding. Breeding fruit flies sounds like a lot of trouble. Plus the family won't be amused by bugs flying everywhere.

Cresties are cute but I am a little anxious about buying one after my first baby died shortly after purchase.

How about some beautiful day geckos ? You'd have to be sure you have a secure screen top to prevent escapes and you have to check near the top of the tank + screen to be sure they are not hanging out there when you open it.
