I agree with everything doublemom said. On the surface, it seems easy but there's a lot of work and money involved in getting the setup right.

I do worry that just about any lizard is just not a good pet for a child as young as 5 years old. Leopard geckos make good starter pets but the tail can break off if mishandled.
