hi i am trying to set my friend up with a lizard but she doesn't know what to get
doesn't want to get a crickets eating lizard cause she knows what a pain they are
nothing too small
not an iguana too

Blue Tongue skinks are great.Very handleable, medium sized(get around 2 feet)They can eat collared greens,dandelions,nonseafood cat food,mealworms,superworms,silkworms,waxworms,snail,mice,all kinds of fruits and veggies.But if you meant noncarnivorious by not eating crix then I dont know what to get.

well now their is a whole bunch of lizards that dont need to be fed live food.thanks to a lot of companys(trex,zoomed,etc)you can feed your pet commercial diets adn they even now have can'o'bugs(crickets,mealworms,snails,etc).here are some choices.
leo geckos(they have comercially made food)
crested geckos(commercially made food)
day geckos(commercially made food)
anoles(commercial made food)
blue toungue skink(can be fed vegetables adn fruit and then fed canOcrickets or any others(they love snails)

Leopard geckos can not be fed commercial diets.They need live moving insects to eat.

that is not fully true.my friend has a leo that has fed it whole life on the zoo med commercial diet.it is a healthy adult that he is letting me borrow at the moment for breeding purposes.he is getting half of hte babies that hatch.

Even if it says the food is for that lizard doesnt mean it will eat it. So get something like the blue tongue skink. And crickets arent that big of a pain to keep.
