Being inspired by a recent thread about leopard gecko's, I suggested getting a vivarium over the weekend (2 females and a male in a 4 ft eventually), having done a fair bit of research on them over the internet. Her reply was that they'd be climbing the walls and stuff, until I pointed out they're terrestrial repitles without the sticky feet. Her son said reptiles are hard to keep, whereby I said leopard gecko's are the easiest - showed him a vid of one eating a cricket, to which he smirked.
The other alternative is a 4ft Discus community setup, as I have kept and breed fish before (partner wanted angelfish, but I hate them). Although it would be a little more sedate (with marbled hatchetfish, black neons, rummy-nosed tetras, and panda corys). Having taken my 1 yr old to his grandparents, he was mesmerised by their tank and kept trying to peek under the leaves, looking for fish. And he know's not to hit the glass.
So, which do you think would be the more interesting, as our flat's a little bland at the moment?
