Ive wanted a chameleon ($100) for a very long time and the time has come for me to buy one. :) Except i hear they get really stressed out when u take them out of there cage and that they are alot of work. Im also looking at the bearded dragon ($80) b/c i hear it is a great bigginer lizard. I dont really like the bd's looks but i would want to so they would communicate with each other..Im also looking at leo geckos ($50) b/c i like there looks more than bd's..are geckos active lizards? Do they wave and rock around like the bd's? Are chameleons a big step in lizard care.? Thanks to anyone who can answer my questions. or just opinions on wat would be the best for someone who has only owned 2 anoles along time ago..

Thanks

i would stick with the bearded dragons but be prepared to spend $$$$ on crickets for them. also the leo would be anouther good pic.to start with but i would also look into a crested gecko because u will not need any uv lights with them and probly won't need a heat pad eather. hope this helps

i would suggest a leopard geocko or a green anole
green anoles don't really like to be held though
