    New Lizard?

    My latest and third addition to my reptile family was an Albino Leopard Gecko. I decided to stop at four reptiles (maybe....) so for the past few days I've been racking my brain for the next reptile contestant.

    I'm fine with providing most enclosures and food... so now I need some suggestions.

    I want a reptile that is notoriously tame and 'medium' sized. I was thinking Bearded Dragon, BTS, Uromastyx. I would get another snake but my mom said no but she seems fine with the lizards.

    I would also be fine with a medium sized frog (Northern Leopard Frog ftw!)

    I'd go with a pixie frog!! They get big but they don't need much room. They have killer eating response. Set up is easy and cheap.As adults they really only need to eat a small amought. Another favorite is tigar salamanders. They are docile and also only need a basic set up, daily water changes but no heating or lights needed so a cheaper option but still neat.
    Too many pets to list!

    A beardie is the most tame of the bunch in general. Uros are not usually 'tame' - they tend to keep to themselvels. Beardies can be like little puppy dogs looking for attention and treats...
