What type of lizard should I get?
OK....well I had recently posted about getting a croc of some sort. This was just nuts. A spur of the moment thing. We had been doing some research on them in bio and I became REAL fascinated by them. Well when I looked into the reality of owning one I realized the craziness of my choice........
SO! I am lookin to get a lizard...something easy.
Now the first on my list is SOME type of monitor. Although not too big. I LOVE tegus.
The second would be a type of lizard. Maybe a beardie or Water Dragon(they are so adorable!)
Last is a leopard gecko....I know these are great but I want something more "interactable(sp)"???? Like that has a great personality.
The cage, food, lighting and all is no problem. I have plenty of cash to buy that stuff and maintain feeding 
I really dont want anything OVER 4ft though. Unless its like on the line maybe. |

I would say a couple of leos or african fat tails would be great for you. They have great personalities, and when you go off to college, they would be easy to tote along.

well, if you wanna go with geckos, or lizards, here are a few:mountain horned dragon, collard lizard, and pictus(madagascar) geckos are pretty good pets. ive had these guys, and they arent too bad. what ever your choice, just make sure you have the right set up, and you do your research. good luck.

Asian water monitors make great pets! Especially when they get big enough to eat dogs and cats. Just kidding. I would actually check out the newest Reptile magazine. It has a very interesting article about setting up lizard breeding colonies, which you may be interested in after awhile. I might go with some crested geckoes or if you have the money some dwarf monitors. Maybe argus or kimberly rocks?

I'd like to adopt. But I doubt I'll find a leo or beardie to adopt......
If I do adopt its DEFINATELY an iguana. SO many of them w/o homes and dieing  | |
