| Geckos breed quickly. Though they will try to con you into buying car insurance and are a favorite food of cave people. |

Or perhaps they reproduced by mitosis like hairy amoebas.... 
Anyhow, I'm wondering if you want to get into this for a hobby or some sort of semi-commercial project. It might make a difference in the species' you keep.

Then I might suggest orchids. Some of them, I'm told (never raised them myself) are very difficult, but others are easy. Worth looking at.

How about pea pods? You could repeat Gregor Mendel's experiments. Since he was a monk, there is a far-flung god aspect to it too.

Whatever you breed, try to place the population under some kind of pressure to adapt or die.
William Behe testified at Dover that evolution in such an experimental context (he was specifically speaking of bacteria which lacked a flagellum made to evolve one), would be a disproof of the "theory" of ID, and a real "feather in the cap" for evolutionists. His argument was meant to claim the vital scientific mantle of falsifiability for ID.
But then Behe went on to wreck his claim of ID falsifiability, by also stating that, despite such a disproof, ID would continue to stand on the inductive logic of "the purposeful arrangement of parts." And he admitted also that neither he nor any other ID "scientists" had even tried such an experiment. Behe had better things to do with his time, he testified.
Stubbornly seeing a "purposeful arrangement of parts" will be the last refuge of these scoundrels. You may as well drive them to it sooner rather than later.

| I'm gonna go with ants, which may sem a bit tame, but they are pretty low-maintenance and not-gross. My goal is to build some kind of double habitat, which can be optionally connected to enable 2 seperate colonies to fight eachother. |
