Ok, so I've been all geared up to purchase a mali and then I come to find out that taking them out of their hot enclosure and exposing them to avg. 75 degree temps when handling them is stressful on the animal. I like the idea of having a reptile that I can handle on an almost regular basis it's one of the things that has enticed me to take up keeping reptiles. I dont mean I will be pulling him out every 15mins or even every day, probably every other day if that even.
Any suggestions on an animal that doesnt require the large insect diet like beardeds but isnt suceptable to stress/illness from being brought out of their enclosures? Any options are greatly appreciated as Im about to build a very permanent enclosure for whatever I end up getting.
