 What to put in?

I have this enclosure that I built several years ago and for the past year or so it has been empty and just used for storing cage decor. I want to put something in it but I’m not quite sure what. I want something that can live in this cage for its full life and not something that will grow out of it.

The cage’s dimensions are (27" Length) (15" Width) (34" Height)
It has 4 doors that open separately on the front and the top also opens. All doors are plexi-glass including the top so something that doesn’t need UVB and doesn’t need extremely high temperatures is preferred. Just give me some suggestions of what you would put in an enclosure like this.

Don’t mind the mess inside the cage, It’s still being used for storage at the moment.

Could there be some nocturnal gecko’s that would work? It is very tall so maybe one would like it?

I was looking a bit at the Tokay Gecko, possibly a duo. I used to own one and they are quite nice (not in temperment of course). Could 2 of a random sex live together alright? No store near me carries them so I would have to order online and can’t choose the sex.

no males will fight even females will fight so if you do make sure you get females and watch them both for signs of strees and fighting
and most pet stores online let you choose what gender i know reptilesn critters. com has them for 20 bucks and you can choose the gender
best of luck

What would do well in a 4’ Length 2’ Width 4’ Height? I would prefer to get a lizard and not a snake for such a cage if I were to make it preferably one that wouldn’t out grow it. I don’t have a cage that size built but I was considering it as a fun project, I’m just not certain of what could inhabit it.

sounds pretty ood for a uromastix lizard, or maybe a frilled lizard maybe a emearald tree monitor (if willing to spend a few hundred dollars but they are amazing looking) if you made it about 3 feet wide

Updated picture, I changed out the plexi top for hardware cloth so it can use a better heat source / UVB. Still nothing in it at the moment because I am being given 2 female Beardies that are about 1 year old from a friend who is moving and I don’t see the point in adding more animals until the newest ones are settled in.
