What's a good reptile for a beginner with some experience?

Posted by Laura on July 20, 2002 at 00:00:51:

Hey,

I've always been fascinated by reptiles of all kinds, and I was wondering what a good reptile for a beginner would be. (Chameleons too difficult and Iguanas too large, unfortunately :( ). I've owned many pets, but the only herps I've owned were two green anoles, two leopard frogs and some newts when I was much younger. I have space for about a 20 - 30 gallon aquarium. Recommendations of lizards, turtles or tortoises would be greatly appreciated (I would post this in the 'Aquatic Herps' section for the turtles/tortoises, but they don't have a 'beginner' section). Links to more detailed care and feeding would also be appreciated, if possible.

Thanks!

~ Laura
