I'm looking into getting a lizard. I saw a uromastyx at a local pet store that stole my heart. I've since learned that I may need to break in on something a bit simpler to care for. Leopard geckos and bearded dragons have been suggested. I'd always thought that leopards would require a lot of humidity and had never really considered them. My brother had a beardie, and it darn near ate him out of house and home. How do skinks figure in? Are they complicated? They seem like hardy animals. but I know the best way to get a feel for them is to talk to someone who has one.



Thus the post! I know any herp is work, but my big experience was a ball python. She was wonderful, and she was very low maintenance. I know this leaves me ill prepared for something complicated.



My big concern is that I not get something that I can't afford to take care of, or that I'll kill in the first six months (again, my brother's experience). Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks!!
