Hello. I was wondering this cause i think it would be alot easier instead of keeping crickets and fresh vegies. I have a king snake and feeding him is very easy. I was just wondering if there are any kinds of lizards that could be kept as pets and to just feed them thawed pinkie mice? If so, what are they called? Thanks

Most lizards that I know of, need more than what they would get from pinkys alone.
I do not no of any lizard that this would be healthy for. Lizards usually need more variety in their diet.
If you find your snake easy to feed, and lizards hard, or too much trouble to feed crickets and veggies, than why not just have snakes 
I love snakes , but personally can not feed the pinky and rodent thing, I would much rather do the crickets and veggies, ehehhehe , LOL
Guess we are all different.

I'm not aware of any lizard that will remain small and eat nothing but rodents. The ones that came to mind when I read your post were monitors, but they all get fairly large (four feet and up). And even those need a little variety in their diet to remain healthy. Besides, crickets aren't that hard to deal with. I have a trio of fat tails, a trio of five lined skinks, two armadillo lizards and a house gecko, and they'll go through 500 crickets in about two weeks . Well almost, I do get some die offs. Keeps me busy, but it keeps them healthy.
