What to get

[Hurrok]

What about a Crested gecko or a Chinese cave gecko? They obviously stay small and I know the cresties are pretty easy to take care of. No additional heat or lamps required (unless it gets really chilly where you live!) Plus they have adorable faces!

Snake-wise Sand boas stay on the smaller side and have good personalities from what I hear. Western Hognose are getting more popular as well. So many choices!

I'm getting a Hognose pretty quick here, pretty difficult to get here in Canada without shipping from the east coast. As for feeding you just have to make sure you get one from a reputable breeder that has been eating pinkies steadily. Otherwise how could you resist a cute snake like that! They'll even puff up

Cresties are easy, as long as the humidity levels are always above 50% it should be fine. A couple mistings a day will prevent the humidity levels to drop as they need a moderate amount, especially during shedding. Plus these guys like fruit as a staple so you can get the Repashy diet for them to thrive on with mealworms, crickets, or waxworms as treats a few times a week.
