Hey everyone, I'm hoping to decide what would be the perfect new addition. I really want a lizard, but there are just so many to choose from. Right now I have a ball python, two Hermann's tortoises, and a rainbow boa. So, I have no problems with building a large custom habitat, as I did for my torts or animals with very specific care, like my boa. Anyway, I want something generally docile, medium to large size, that doesn't mind being handled, but wont become aggressive if not handled every single day. I've been looking at tegus, uromastyx, iguanas, and beardies. I know beardies are great pets and with all the morphs, there are several beautiful options, I've just never really been in love with them, you know? With iggs, I've always wanted one and I just adore them, but I'm not sure I'll have enough time to spend handling/taming one. Tegus and uros I don't know much about yet, still reading up on them. Any recommendations?
