Hope this helps, but keep in mind whatever you decide on you will need the cash and time for any lizard. I spent nothing less than a grand (1000 bucks) overall for Hubert.

#1tameness- well ever since i had him as a little 10inch baby Gator has always been easy. doesnt try to run away even at that size. hes now 30" has yet to gape, bite, tailwhip, defecate on me, or anything else you can think of. sometimes he doesnt want to come out. i knw this because when i open his cage he wont perk his head sideways, he'll just not respond. other times he jumping all over the place trying to get my attn. and as soon as i open the cage he runs all over the place then finds a good perch (normally the bill on my hat :/) so i would say a 10.

#2coolness- he's a BA, enough said 10!

#3moneycosts-if you think about it, its really not that much for me because i can build his cage and dont need to buy a $1,000 dollar from cagesbydesign.com (NOT knocking anyone for buying there in any way) once you buy the cage and lights which is a good sum of money at the time. after that thats it for around a year till its time for more lights. and i buy hoppers for $.20 each so food isnt much of a problem. 5.

#4appetite- he eats atleast 1 hopper a day along with crickets (yes lucky for me he still eats crickets!) or some earthworms from a bait shop. it has seemed to slow down some since he stopped growing a whole lot. 7-8.

#5energy- as a baby he was VERY energetic. but now it depends on if he is warm, cold, or warming up. when hes been basking after that it seems as if goes thru his cage looking for intruders (i got a female WD for him, but he attacked her and he wasnt trying to breed, and this was outside of his cage... he seems very aggressive to all my others lizards except for my tegu:/ ) for about 3 hours in the afternoon he'll go up and hang out at the top of his cage and wont do anything :/ when hes out hes fairly active then settles down. i give him a 6-7.

#6overraiting- he is what i call my original lizards he was the 2nd i got behind Taz my tegu. Taz and Gator are the only ones iv named. to me they are priceless. Gator is a joy to watch climb around his cage. i can even take him outside unrestrained no problems. like i said b4 he likes to sit on the bill of my hat i can walk outside and he'll stay right there and wont move. he definitely gets a 10.

TAMENESS
Well he doesn't run away if I put my hand in the cage and I can hand feed him but he doesn't like to be picked up much so I'd probably give him a 7.

COOLNESS
He's the coolest dragon in the whole world! I'd definitly give him a 10!

MONEY COSTS
He's not as expensive as I thought he would be when I first got him. He has all his lights and stuff so basically I just buy his supplements and food and pay for the electricity that his lights use (I have no idea how much that is but I don't think it's much because I didn't notice the bill go up). He doesn't eat much and his supplements are very expensive so I'd give him a 9 (10 being the cheapest and 1 being the most expensive).

APPETITE
HE'S NOT A DRAGON, HE'S A PIG!! I'd give him a 10, he tries to eat anything and everything, even after he's just eaten me out of house and home!

ENERGY
He's very active, if he wasn't he'd be an obese dragon! I'd give him a 9.

OVERALL
I'd give him a 10, because I've had no probelms with him, he's easy to look after and he's got the cutest personallity!

Suzie

Tameness: i would give suzie about a 8 on tameness... i am the only one that can hold her or even get near her without her running away or gaping at.. other than that she is fairly tame

coolness: she isn't very cool...shes kind of that shy nerdy person in school.. she is antisocial with all the other wds and wants to be left alone much of the time..maybe a 5

Money costs: i didn't really spend a lot of money on her because i've owned herps and wds for quite awhile and had spare parts and cages all over... i did however have to buy her a new uvb light and a bigger cage until she could join the others..3

appetite: she isn't really a big eater.. she does love her cricket though.. and she will occasionally eat a slice of grape or some veggies...7

energy: she is very lazy... she usually climbs all over the vines and plants and the finds a spot she likes and sits the day away.. and get this... she doesn't like water... hmmm.. ill giver her a 6.5 in energy

overall: she is my sweetie pie.. she has such a good personality and she thinks she is hot stuff....i wouldn't give her up for the world.....10

meako !!!!!!!!!!

tameness- i give him a 10... he loves everybody..

coolness- 10 definetly... he is very popular among the ladies..they all think hes the man.well beacause he is lol

money costs- he was my first dragon and so he costed the most.. i spest close to 500 intially for his first setup... i would have spent more but my nieghbor had a couple Wds that died from RI and so she sold me their setup for $80 what a steal...8

appetite- he loves to eat...he eats everything and anything in sight.. what a little monster...well not really..what a big monster.. 28 inchs....10

energy: he is a wild man ... i had to put a background all around the cage beacuse he would snout rug and head bob all day... he loves to jump around and get himslef into when i let him out....10

overall: well he was my first so i have a bias ..but boy do i love this guy..10 for sure

i would rates the other two but this post is long enough!! heheheh

4 wd ( meako,suzie, spook, griffin)
1 leo ( sammy)
1 beardie (spikey)

Tameness- The Tune gets a 7 and Mysty a 9. He is much more difficult to deal with at times. He wants to sit on my shoulder when I pick him up and he pitches a fit if he does not get his way. (He turns dark until I do whatever he wants) I lost my first WD so I was real protective of him. His talons are sharp and he scratches me up when he runs up and down my arms. They are easily calmed when I sing their song I made up though. Like within seconds.

Coolness- 10 across the board. They both look so cool but in different ways. She looks like an old lizard, like something that has been around for several thousand years. He is cool with his spikes. When they stare each other down it is quite funny. They also know their names. Neptune will not pay attention to anyone who walks up to the viv, but if he hears my voice he looks for me. Sweet.I love watching them play in the fountain and swim. They are the coolest pets I have ever had.

$$$$$$- 10- These guys are expen$ive! Mine were sick and it was 450 to cure them. I would say we have spent 2000 on them this past year. Thats more than my annual homeowners insurance policy! viv, illness, lighting (3 powersuns etc.) plants, feeding, housing for food, need I say more. Hits me harder because I have 2 I guess. Time for a fecal too so theres another 30. At least they are eating pinks now and it is cheaper to order from big cheese rodents than go to local petstores. BTW I have had good success with them, and they are good to deal with.

appetite- Tune 10 & Mysty 6 She had eggs and was not hungary, but now they both have quite an appetite. Neptune would eat until he exploded. He acts hungary after 4 pinks so we went to fuzzies.

Overall- 10 x 2 -I love these guys!!! They are so awesome. Having them around is like living art. What great pets!
