Best pet reptile?

Question

(I'm 1000% committed to researching and caring for it once I decide on a species! No worries, reptile lovers. I want to give it the best possible home it could ask for!)

I love all sorts of reptiles. None of them scare me even in the slightest. I had a ball python, absolutly beautiful, but we had to give her away =(

I'm open to ANY suggestions. Frogs, iguanas, snakes, lizards, anything. I just want to know what you all deem the "best pet reptile" out there!!

Answer 1

That's easy! A bearded dragon! They are considered to be the friendliest lizard in the entire world!

Answer 2

Russian Tortoise.

Answer 3

Leopard Geckos are a great reptile pet... especially for beginners in the reptile owner world.

Answer 4

I think the best reptile to have is a rough green snake. I love them and they are soooo easy to take care of and you can have one or two because they are not that expensive.  Or a veil chameleon! they are really sweet but take a little more to take care of...the options are endless. Go to Reptilecity.com they have endless reptiles and if they don't have the type of reptile your looking for you can call and they will try and find it for you :)

Answer 5

in order of my opinion :corn snakes , leopard geckos,, bearded dragons, crested geckos, most milk and king snakes, ,ball pythons ,blue tongue skinks . anything else said is wrong. good luck

Answer 6

alligator

Answer 7

Crested geckos are easy and really cool. If you do a snake get a corn snake or a ball python. Frogs get a Pacman(horned). I am not a huge lizard person but iguanas are good first lizards.

Emerald tree boas are great! I have had at least 3 myself. They are beautiful. But they hate to be handled and they have fangs! not very friendliy. Just make sure if you decide that you prepare yourself to have a pet you look at.. and not really handle often

Answer 8

if you want something you can hold i would say a bearded dragon. they are very active. if you get a baby and hold it every day it will soon be eager to be held. they can sit on your shoulders while you watch tv or while your doing laundry. personally, i think they are the best besides snakes. snakes are not as active with humans.

good luck!

OMG Emerald Tree Boa! The Emerald Tree Boa's beautiful green coloration is striking. Their beautiful appearance is making the Emerald Tree Boa a highly desirable part of many snake enthusiast's collections. The Emerald Tree Boa is strictly arboreal. It prefers to spend all of its time in the trees. If an Emerald Tree Boa is found on the ground, it is usually because there is something wrong with it. Emerald Tree Boas like to coil over tree branches and they rest their heads roughly in the middle of the coils, as is the case with many tree snakes. The Emerald Tree Boa may not be well suited for beginners because of its highly aggressive temperament and its high humidity requirements. They are so aggressive that some enthusiasts call them "Legless Werewolves". In some cases they can be handled, though this requires a lot of work and is an exception rather than a rule. As with all tree boas they have longer teeth to aid in capturing birds in the wild. As a result these can inflict a painful bite. As a rule when keeping these snakes one should stick to "look but don't touch". With the arboreal nature of the Emerald Tree Boa, its habitat should be large, but should lean towards the tall side. It should contain plenty of plant life and branches for the snake to live in. These are generally not the most active snakes, sometimes they will go for weeks and only move and inch or so in position. The average lifespan of the Emerald Tree Boa is 15 to 20 years.
