we have both and although its a personal decision it cames down to weather you want a pet that will tolerate you holding it or one that will actually want to be held. leos are great we have 2 and one i svery mellow and tolerant to being held but as soon as i return him to his tank he has to bath and th efemale is a little spazy still but shes pretty young. on the other hand from what i hear beardies actuall will come to you, you can train them with mealies, ours is ....moody some days he likes to be held and others he'll puff up and his as soon as i open the tank.. from talking to other people though he's an exception to the rule as most beardies are pretty mellow
