I was just curious which lizard would be best for someone who is just starting out. I have looked at several, including fire skinks, monitors, and other ones which i don't remember. If someone could help me out that would be great.

Leopard Gecko
They are relatively cheap and easy to care for and can be handled.

Do leopard geckos respond well to handling at all? I would really like to have a lizard that I could handle, because that seems like at least half the fun of having one.
Thanks,
JM

Most I have dealt with are very easily handled, they tend to be a little jumpy as babies but get used to their person very quickly.
