Well my absolute, all time favorite species that I've ever kept are the Sphaerodactylus geckos. I could write a book about them! I spent three years researching them in Puerto Rico and I want to go back... but only for these guys! I'm gonna try and post some pics here but I'm not sure if it'll work...
Also, Dahli, my Gerhosaurus nigrolineata (I think I spelled that right) is an unusal, comical and delightful pet. I think his species would be (a close) second! (by the way if this works... the picture was taken by Frank Jaeger and borrowed from the GGA website).

Nice cave geckos Youkai :)
My favorite is R. Leachianus. How can you not love a gecko with an appetite for mice...

I've keep a Green Iguana, Green Anole, Gold Dust Day Gecko, Leopard Gecko and Bearded Dragons. My favorit has to be the Leopards.

I'm boring and conventional, I'm just crazy about my green iguanas. So smart and so much personality.

Gizmo's pretty fond of herself too! :D

Super Hypo/Tangerine Carrottail Leopard gecko's there is nothing I'd rather have more. Leo's just come in so many different morphs, you have to love them.

My fav. had to have been my Bearded Dragons.
they were so tame and never gave me any trouble. and as a reward of keeping them happy they presented me with little babies:D

hmm.. i've kept werner's chameleons, veiled chameleons, day gecko, crested gecko, and leopard geckos.. i think that's about it.. i'd say either crested gecko or werner's....

alright, so i LOVE Green Iguanas and i also have a Togo Fire Skink. but i had a Nile Moniter at one point that was named ******* for very good reasons. he was alright, but VERY aggressive and drew blood on myself and my boyfriend many a time. so...as much as i love the beauty of the moniters...i have to say that i would NOT consider that my favorite.

One of the first lizards I ever had a banded basilisk named Spaz. She has got to be my favorite. She is turning 13 soon! -Tim My favorite, though I am totally a gecko girl, is the Eyelash Viper. I mean WOW those colors are amazing!Here's a great pic.http://www.ssnakess.com/photopost/data/500/1812eyelash_viper-thumb.jpg

yeah i have seen some fairly aggresive monitors....but they are sooo interesting...as are iguanas, but monitors just apeal to me so much more. Our sav is slowly getting to the point where he doesnt hiss at us or bite anymore... I cant wait till he gets big.If i had more space (which i kind of do now that i have moved!) I might consider getting some other monitors, such as a argus, peach throats, or ackies... I can only hope.

My favorite is easily the Tegus and Ackies. I also love iguanas, and eyespy might i add that is an awesome looking iguana, shes very healthy looking. Unfortunately when i recieved my iguana it was in the time where there were tons imported by the millions, so there wasnt much care. But when i was around 8 i realized that the care was too much and i gave him to a Iguana Rescue(which he has a nice home now if the people still own him).

I am a monitor man myself, but nothing, and I do mean, NOTHING compares to Frilled Lizards. I just got my first one and I am absolutely astounded at how well they settle in, and how easily handled they are. They have the best of the Beardies, Best of the monitors, and not to mention they are down-right cool.

I've always been a sucker for leos, but cresties are my new fave. They have such quirky personalities and goofy faces.

Bartman
04-21-03, 11:16 PM
I would 100 percent have to say UROMASTYX. They just have so much personality and never stop moving...which at the same time can be fustrating...but still the uro definetly is my fav no doubt!!
