Is a leopard gecko a good pet for a 10 year old girl that has never had a reptile??

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

yes my little sister got a leo for her birthday yesterday she was 11 just make sure the gecko is healthy

Answer 4

yes i am 16 qnd just got my first lizard. They are best for anyone who has not had one before as they are easier to handle. I reccomend them very much

Answer 5

I had three for my daughter, she never had a problem. the are very docile and the easiest of reptiles to take care of. the only thing I would warn you about is that their f***s can carry salmonella, so after every handling she should use a hand sanitizer, but we never had a problem. If you get one get a female, there the most docile. Good luck!

Answer 6

Yes.  My son got his first one at 8.  Now he has three and a bearded dragon also.  They are very easy to take care of and very docile.  Just know that you'll have to constantly buy live crickets, mealworms, waxworms, and superworms.  That's all they eat.  Don't try dead food or pellets.  Unless you live conveninently near a pet store, think about that before purchasing.  They are usually 10 cents each and you have to feed and water them (crickets), too.
