Question

I want a lizard that i can pick up and be able to hold what kind should i get?

Answer 1

an iguana, or bearded dragon you could also walk them on leashes

Answer 2

Well there are planty of choices but for handon there are three that i would most reccomend.

1) Bearded Dragons

2)Blue Tongues Skinks

3) leopard geckos

I personally would choose a bearded dragon or blue tongues skink. i work with a beardie named ozzy at school and a BT named alex and they are both extremely docile and wicked fun to have around. They are both great but the only downside is that they need a spacious enclosure with more length than height a minimum id say of 60 gallons. leos are ok too but you have to handle them from a young age in order for them to stop squirming around so much when there older. but back to the beardies and skinks!

p.s no offense to the one above me with the iguana. they are great lizards but the first mistake many owners make is buying an iguanas. they get really big and that cute little lizard you saw in the petstore wont be little for long. and the males can get aggresive as they reach maturity. i wouldnt consider an iguana at all unless youve had considerable experience with reptiles and have the space and money for an adequate enclosure

Answer 3

Answer 11

Bearded Dragon

Answer 12

Bearded dragons are usually pretty tame. It's best to either get one that was hand-raised by a breeder or try to hand-raise a baby yourself so it's used to being handled.

Corn snakes can also be trained to be quite tame, although they're a bit more skittish than a bearded dragon would be.

Answer 13

leopard gecko or bearded dragon never realy bite

Answer 14

I used to have the most friendliest iguana...he was like 5 feet long. I mean he was so d**n friendly he slept in bed with me at night...I have 2 now, the female is awesome and friendly...the male is a complete ***... I love iguanas so I would suggest one...just make sure it is a female!

Another really friendly lizard is a uromastyx...my little brother has 2...they are so calm and his just love to cuddle. They look really cool to...if you don't know they are the ones that have spikey looking tails.
