much "cooler" feeding method IMO: constricting vs just catch and eating an insect

just a few I could think of right off the bat. I'm sure there's more. I love lizards to look at and what not, but I don't think it would be the right pet for me.

Bullet points.... Niiiiice

I've got both... both have differing husbandry requirements, both have different inate interesting characteristics. I don't really prefer one over the other.

I like both equally. every snake owner should at least have one lizard imho

i prefer snakes because they're easier to take care of and funner to handle :3

I think lizards have more personality than snakes and you can interact with them (used to play fetch with one of mine

).

However they are more effort to look after/feed than snakes and cost more (which is why we had to rehome our lizards

)

I'm a snake guy. I never really thought about why. I think the way they move and the patterns/colors is what draws me to them.

I think lizards are neat but I've never seriously considered owning any. If I were to get any I think I'd go with leopard geckos as they seem relatively easy to care for and come in cool colors. One thing that I don't like about lizards is how fragile they seem in comparison to snakes. Their little legs & toes just seem so brittle I'd be afraid of hurting them.

I completely agree with Rob on this one. I find lizards to be more entertaining for the most part. It does depend on the day though. Some days I want to watch and play with the lizards and others I just want to chill on the couch.

They both have their ups and downs but all in all, love them both
