Hello all! I've been considering getting a lizard before I could even legally get a license for myself, and now it's 7 years later. I'm seriously contemplating owning one soon, and have been doing a lot of research into what species I should get. However, I'm still not 100% sure and would love for some insight.
The main two lizards I'm contemplating are blue tongues or ridge-tailed monitors!
I've heard blue tongues make excellent starter lizards, but I'm also absolutely fascinated by monitor lizards and would love to home one if I'd be able to with no experience owning a reptile before.
However I am open to other lizard ideas. I'm not sure if a bearded dragon is for me, despite also being a starter lizard, but perhaps I can be convinced otherwise!
PS. I would 100% prefer a lizard species that tolerates handling more than others. I've heard most geckos are look, don't touch reptiles, but if any are fine with handling, I'd consider!
Another question that's pretty much in the previous question is; does a ridge-tailed monitor make a good first time lizard?
