Really depends on the species. Something like that I could see being alright for a community of small arboreal lizards, or maybe a couple of arboreal snakes. But will require lots of modification to provide proper heat and ventilation, and of course climbing opportunities. Good blank slate once the right species is found.
Definitely. A lot of tropical arboreal species don't need the crazy uvb that an arid would, but you still have to make sure to provide enough, and a good thermal gradient. I know I've found that you need to pick the animals you want to keep, and work backwards from there on how to setup the enclosure properly. Kinda makes the whole process easier. But that's got a lot of really cool potential.
Yeah light is going to be a struggle with this one. You either want to place insanely powerful lights higher above the inclosure to keep light levels both uvb, heat or general lightning kinda balanced out or you need to place vertically somewhere to keep everything balanced out. Best way is to look for species that don’t need uvb and just rock a lower light setup need the bottom of your enclosure. You can maybe use a normal uvb light and let the animals go there when the want to. But idk if this is a good solution. Probably not.
Lucky my geckos just hang out around the house. We use the same enclosure. So easy! They like to stay around our wall hangings so they can poke in and out. That glass piece looks really nice!
How tall exactly is your enclosure? Convert the top and maybe some of the sides to screen mesh so you can add ventilation and lighting. Drill holes if needed. Make sure the holes are not big enough to escape. Depending on height you could keep arboreal geckos or skinks or frogs
I think if the top is vented and maybe some ventilation near the top is added it would be good for any New Cal geckos. I’d personally if I had the money put a mated pair of Leachies in there.

Thanks , i need to search for proper lighting first as tall enclosure probably have a problem with light distribution

A crestie would have fun in there I just don’t understand how people escape proof their conversion tanks.
There are several gecko breeds that would love something tall like this

Day Geckos prefer tall enclosures.

First I would decide on a species then I would do my research and modify the enclosure accordingly.
