Re: Which lizard - gecko would be best for me?
Another option you could look into would be some of the smaller species of skinks, such as fire skinks, Schneider's skinks, etc...

Why not a Bearded Dragon? Active during the day, sleeps at night, eats any feeder bugs available at any pet shop, fruits, veggies, greens, and are exceptionally tame!

Bearded Dragons require a large enclosure!

Blue Tongue Skink!
They have great personalities! But they do get big!
Someone mentioned fire skink,

Re: Which lizard - gecko would be best for me?
I am really set up for the diurnal type in the lizard - gecko - chameleon family who can be handled. So what it eats doesn't really matter was just a plus

Yes but you are shooting down all our suggestions, I guess a leopard gecko would be best

Re: Which lizard - gecko would be best for me?
Like I said, Leopard Geckos tolerate handling decently, simple care requirements, stay small... pretty & fun to watch.

You might think that but so far I've had suggestions that doesnt fall in what I'm looking for ... that's why I listed my criterias .
I'm not saying your suggested lizards or geckos aren't cute or aren't good, is just for my lifestyle and my family they are just not right.
There must be something out there that doesn't get big in size, are active in the day and that can be handled. For the rest its doesn't matter ... as long as its in the lizard - gecko or chameleon family ....

I LOVE geckos, I see there are a few of them who are active at day ... I might go more for that direction I think!  Thanks

Re: Which lizard - gecko would be best for me?
What you guys think about a Mali Uromastyx ?
Mali Uromastyx - Reptile - Live Pet - PetSmart
So far thats the one that fits best ... just the sizing I am not sure. How big those can get?

Re: Which lizard - gecko would be best for me?
Recommended 35 gallon or larger enclosure.. other than that everything else sounds right.
Leopard Gecko - Reptile - Live Pet - PetSmart
Even though they are nocturnal, ours is awake quite a bit during the day.

Re: Which lizard - gecko would be best for me?
Am trying to picture a 35g enclosure, I guess that would be over 2 1\2 feet?
I saw the little Leopard Gecko, they are just so adorable!
