I have a pair of bearded dragons, and I have to say that I think they are at least one of the best. They like to be held and fed by hand. You can pet them and they seem to like it. Another plus, for me, is that they don't grow too big. (Full grown, they are only about 20 inches from the nose to the tip of their tail.) I enjoy them very much. ~Ginger~

They look really cool, I would love to have a lizard but we have a puppy, 2 hamsters and 2 turtles, plus a 2 year old child. I might wait for awhile before getting a lizard!!

I live in South Texas USA and we have a small lizard like creature we call a Skink. They eat small insects and live on a wall or in a garage, around stones etc. They never come inside a house. Not long ago, I was in the Garage and when I reached for the door this tiny skink jumped onto my hand. He was about 5 inches long and brown to match the door. I walked very carefully around to show him to my wife. I was wearing a green shirt and as I stood there with him on the back of my hand he began to change color. The color green began on his legs and quite quickly spread to his whole body. As soon as he had turned completely green he jumped to my shirt and ran up to my shoulder and then jumped off and ran up the wall of the house.

Im a huge skink fan. Awesome pet, but they tend to be hard to sell. No body seems to want them in thier collections...

I say Leopard geckos because they can live in a ten gallon terrarium but it is best to put them in a twenty gallon terrarium. They eat only insects. They don't require much space if you live in an apartment. They don't like being handled though.

Freindliest/Tolerate being handled The two that are most common and such are the Leopard gecko and Bearded Dragon both are very friendly. My favorite however in the discussion of "best" lizard would be the Chinese Water Dragon

I've had 3 kinds in my life time, Anole's, Iguana, and a Bearded Dragon. The Iguana was fun but temperamental. The Anole's were more for watching in my opinion. The Beardie is fun. He's a lot more willing to be picked up, will eat from my hand, and my 3 young children love to watch him or pet him while I hold him. I have three dogs and they ignore him completely so he fits with us perfectly.
