There's a reason dogs and cats are cliche. They're good pets. If you want to avoid then buy a sabertooth tiger. If you want a loyal pet that is easy to care for, get a dog. Don't not buy a dog simply because a lot of people own them. If you want a dog then get a dog.

Lizards are awful pets. They are okay to look at, but they don't appreciate you like a furry pet does.
My leopard gecko was a little bitch. Never warmed up to being handled, and was always hiding. I adopted him out. |

Asfar as my personal herp experiences go:
LP geckos are easy to take care of generally friendly but can be less than enthused, and are rather easy pets. Won't typically bite or be fussy in terms of eating. As for bearded dragons: Much smarter than people give them credit for. Can seem rather lethargic at times but they also go crazy. If you're truly interested in a lizard and don't have many limitations, I'd reccommend a Black-Throat Monitor. Exceptionally docile, smart, loyal, and are truly breathtaking once you've raised one. They get a bt large so if you have other pets it can be a problem. However, they can be trained to an extent, are pretty dam smart as far as monitors go, and are docile to boot. Pretty cool lizards. For the love of god, don't get a Croc monitor. Those ****ers are nasty, bitey, and their teeth are wicked. I had a guy tell me a story once about how he nearly bled out from a 3 month old from a bite to the wrist. They're aggressive, easily agitated, and generally regarded as pricks. Black throat monitors, not at all IMO

I had a roommate.
His roommates moved out a few months before I moved in. The old roommate left behind a snake. My old roommates scared of snakes. I moved in and there is a snake in a cage in the living room. It was mad as ****. Because it was hungry. My old roommate scared of snakes. Never fed it. I went to the damn pet store to buy live mice. That thing bit me when I opened the cage to feed it. I screamed like a bitch. Then I regained composure and fed the damn thing. Snakes should not be pets people! They certainly should not be. |

I watched my brother's Nile Moniter tear apart baby chickens piece by piece. Blood and feathers and squealing...
And he made his kids watch the feedings. They are pretty ****ed up kids now. So, yeah, go get a reptile. I hear they are really cuddlely and cute and you can take them for walks and they'll do tricks for treats and all that fun shit. |

Seriously, Nile's have a nasty temperament. Do not want. If you're getting a monitor, you go black-throat or svannah unless you're doing studies and they aren't pets.

A guy I knew had a couple of lizards and after awhile he couldn't "get it up," if you know what I mean. Dr. said he was suffering from a reptile dysfunction.

The hots I caught (copperheads) actually warmed up fairly quickly, which was surprising to me. They were fine with me free handling them to an extent ( limited persons in the room, no noise, etc).
