Re: What new reptile should I get??

This looks like a re[tile that is going to suffer. If you can not take care of it every day then don't get it. You are putting your want of something, anything to keep, over the quality of care you can offer it.

It's not really ideal to just throw some crickets in every couple days, as they'll either eat them all and then have nothing to eat or they won't and the crickets will harass them. Plus you'd need to throw in a lot of crickets to last several days. Snakes are one thing, but lizards are entirely different in feeding. They need to eat more often and have a reliable food source. I guess you could do a dish of mealworms if its a herp that will eat them.

Great post. If you are comparing the frequency of care needed for a snake to the frequency of care needed for a different kind of reptile, you should really think about not getting one.

Re: What new reptile should I get??
Also a crested gecko only needs crickets once in a while so if you decided to get a Crestie it would be perfect... You would just need a little bit of a different cage... Mine is 12Wx12Lx18H. A crested gecko sounds like the perfect one.

The CGD needs to be changed pretty often though, doesn't it? I don't think it can just sit for several days. Could be wrong though.

I would hope his dad or stepmom could easily change that out every day that he isn't there.
The cham idea is the worse suggestion ever. Who suggests that for someone who says "I don't want to feed it a lot." Daily insects would constitute a lot.

Well he said his dad just "checks" on things and that he wants something that can be fed once every couple days, so I gathered that they wouldn't be willing to clean the bowl, mix the food, and put it back in every day. If they are, that's cool though.

Re: What new reptile should I get??
The crested gecko diet doesn't dry out insaney quick. Mine can last 2 days sometimes if I don't have his light on. But his dad should be able to switch it. It isn't hard.

Re: What new reptile should I get??
I would hope a gecko followed home or a beardie would not be a bad idea if dad droped in some veg on a daily basis.
