An easy to care for reptile?

Question

I was thinking of getting a reptile for a pet. i did have a chamellion once when i was little but he didnt last long =[. so i would like to get an easy to care for pet, im kinda scared of snakes though lol. can anyone suggest a good, scaly friend for me?

Answer 1

I have raised snakes, turtles, anoles and iguanas. I loved them all and found that they were easier to take care of than dogs or cats. I miss my iguana the most. He was the most responsive of them all. If you want a reptile that responds and can be taught things an iguana is great. Try to find one that is not a baby. They love dandilions. A large tank, heat rock, a good diet, a swim in the tub and lots of love is a good start.

Answer 2

It depends on what your willing to spend my recommendation would be to get a be a rankus dragon or bearded dragon. Rankus cost about 85 dollars and are smaller but die faster and bearded dragons are 60 dollars and get up to 18 inches but live a long and active life but if your looking for a cheaper pet you might want to try a leopard gecko or anole lizard. If the price is not an isue and your looking for a calm and laid back pet you might want to try a iguana or chameleon. If your looking for a snake pet i would reccomend a red tailed boa or a corn snake but you should do some research and se what pet would suit you best.

Ball Pythons are great pets. Very easy to manage. You feed them once a week, and keep a heat lamp in their cage area.

They're very docile and ball up when they feel threatened, thus why they're "ball pythons". I really enjoy mine!

Anole, Leopard gecko, Western skink or a red eared slider
