Begginner Lizard Pets (can be held)????
I had a Leopard gecko when i was younger, I loved Paco(my lizard) unfortunatley we had to get rid of him cause my mom was doing all the caring and i was doing all teh playing. I want to care for a lizard now that i am older. I want to be able to hold him/her and i don't want to spend over 50 dollars in buying the pet itself. I want to be able to clean the tank fairly easily and enjoy the presence of my pet. I was looking at some green anoles but heard that they do not like to be handled??? is this true??? what lizard do you recommend for me??? Or if you have an idea of another type of reptile with the care instructions and characteristics i meantioned let me know??? Thank you!

well lepord geckos are very docile adn a good lizard for children and can be held, but since you are looking for something reletivly simple a pale agama might be something you like? you can hold them and the males ahve a nice blue under theri necks and tehy resemble a smaller and a bit diffrent virson of a bearded dragon or a horney devil they are cute and do move fast on occasion. I was looking to get one or a gecko and learned all of this off of google on reptile websignts and at the petstore. if you allready ahve the aquariem for the lizard these guys are fairly cheap, idk about cleaning thought but you have to be luck that you dont have to scoop a cat box >_< lol
i hope this helps

The best pet lizard I know of is a bearded dragon. Some people may argue with that, but I have one & he is such a sweetie! They're usually pretty calm once they reach a certain age & most love to be held. Mine loves to lay on my chest & sleep when I'm watching tv.
The prices will vary, & most pet stores charge way too much. I got mine at a reptile show for about $45. The biggest cost issue will be with a cage. Beardies usually need at least a 50 gallon tank, but you can usually look in the classifieds online & buy a used one for a good price. Not only that, but they also require a heat & UV light, & lots of crickets & greens. So, it can be pricey, but it is worth it. They're honestly the most friendly lizards I've ever seen. Mine even runs to the end of the tank when he hears my voice. So, it might be worth saving up for.
