Question for reptile lovers of imgur

Jul 21, 2017 11:05 AM

I have a spare tank of 60x40x40 cm and would really love to have a lizard. I already have a corn snake and a mexican redknee tarantula, so i have some experience with exotic animals. I'm looking for a lizard that doesn't require a bigger tank in the future and that needs a dry environment. I plan on providing it with a heating pad and a uvb lamp. My question for you is, which types of lizards would be good for this? (Oh and it would be great if they are friendly to handle too, but not a must)

Also template cuz i just thought it was a cute bearded dragon

I was expecting the question to be a political joke about 'lol dey r reptiles' instead I leaned that you have rad pets! Sorry, don't know.

As cool as i think they are, i don't have the equipment to care for them. But who knows, maybe i'll give it a second thought.

There have been more people suggesting a gecko. I'm looking up which one might be the best choice for me

Leopard geckos are fun little guys that don't even need a uvb.

For a hot, dry environment I'd suggest a uromastyx, however, your tank might be too small, even for the smaller ones (1/2)

Honestly, I'd endorse a leopard gecko, or maybe an African fat tailed gecko, they might need misting, but a spunky little sweeties! (2/2)

But be careful with a heating pad! Lizards can't tell when they are burning themselves

This is good advise, thanks!
