  1. i think a bearded dragon would suit you but im not sure about the uv bulb they may or may not need that id do some more research first  but they are awesome pets and get along great with others if brought up together.


  2. A bearded dragon I beleive get like 2 feet long so thats probably too big but leopard or crested geckos both stay pretty small, im not sure about the UV bulb but Im pretty sure they can do without, it really helps any reptile with bones and stuff though.

  3. Requirement #4 pretty much limits you to nocturnal geckos, all (or most) of which eat insects.

  4. i think a bearded dragon would be good they get longer than 7 inches though and they need a uvb bulb but heres a website with a care sheet if you decidde to get one

  5. A crested gecko would fit your description, and doesn&#039;t need UVB.  Two females (several females in enough space) can be housed together in a small amount of space, but this would mean buying animals old enough to positively determine gender.

    Most reptiles are simply not social as adults.  Make sure you do your research thoroughly, before you attempt to cohab several of the same species together.  All babies get along, but babies grow up.

    Good luck, whatever you decide.

    I hope this has been helpful.
