Re: Lizard Ideas

Are you looking for a tropical or more arid lizard? What is your preferred diet? Are you willing to provide expensive UVB bulbs for it?

Re: Lizard Ideas

I prefer more tropical lizards, but It wouldn't really matter what kind it is. Also, I fine with a carnivorousness or herbivorous lizard. and I am unsure about the light. probably no but, I might be able to squeeze it in my budget

Re: Lizard Ideas

How comfortable are you going with a more advanced lizard? What's your price range?

Re: Lizard Ideas

If you're really willing to put in the effort of making the enclosure spectacular (because good just doesn't cut it for these guys) and do all the research, go with a red eyed crocodile skink. You can hold them, but they would prefer you didn't, however. Leave it to once or twice a week handling for brief periods of time.

Re: Lizard Ideas

Scheider's skink, fire skink, collared lizard, desert iguana, Mt horned dragon, Saharan ("Nigerian") Uromastyx...all decent choices that would do well in a 20-30 gal.
