my first reptile was a leo... then a crested.. (perfectly handelable) a pair of viper geckos, a day gecko( fast and fragile) and then a blue poison frog, and a trio of bumblebee poison frogs!! Definetly dont rule out cresteds... they are beautiful and it is great watching them hunt...

Snake Goddess,
Yes a leo or an African fat tail are very simple to care for first time lizzards. They do not requre much and are very hardy. And easy to handle without much work! There are so many after that but with each one comes a little more experiance. What ever you decide just make sure you do your home work first!
John

If you like skinks but don't have more than a 30 gallon tank for room how about a schnieder's skink? a.k.a. Berber skink. I have one, they are great! They get used of handling and are not as big as blueys (which I also have, 9 of them). A 30 gallon would be great for a Schneider's and you could make a little heaven for him.

Oh and forgot to mention another plus, they are like 1/4 the price of bluey's.  About 40-60 dollars in pet stores. They are hard to find c.b but as long as it looks healthy and alert you should be fine. We love ours. I'd like to get a couple more some day.

I know Grant had some not long ago, maybe if he doesn't have any at the show he still has some at the store. You could always ask. Other than him I've never seen any at the shows but I know that Roy breeds them and his babies would be awesome!!

I know you say you don't have room for a blue tongued skink, but I'll tell you I think they are the best beginner lizards. I've had my bluey for over 5 years and have been keeping leo's for 7 years and my personal opinion is bluey's are actually easier and less time consuming than leo's. With all the bugs for leo's and having to care for them, it just makes more work. My bluey is much easier. And they have great personalities!!!
