What Lizards Do YOU Prefer? (POLL!)

You forgot the blue tree monitors! I voted Nile monitor though, as my Nile is my sweetheart. I love my Savannah, but the Nile has so much more personality.

In my future, I will probably only own Blue Tree monitors, Nile monitors, and ball pythons. They are my favorites of the reptile world.

My list is LONG, since I love most lizard species out there. :) But here are my top 5:

#1 - Blue Tongue SKinks!! They are the greatest pet lizards, hands down...and I've owned quite a few. :) BTW, your entry for skink says 'Skins', that might be why there aren't as many votes there.

#2 - Chuckwallas. The often unheard of desert lizard that is sweet and fun to own. :)

#3 - Iguanas. I owned a green, and worked with a Rhino at the zoo. They are awesome lizards.

#4 - Bearded Dragon. Gentle, cool looking, omnivorous, what else can I say? :D

#5 - Komodo Dragon. Yes, I've worked with one before. They are spectacular, but NOT for the inexperienced. Heck, they're not even for the intermediates...these guys are total zoo/wildlife park only. But they are great. :)

After that would be Leo, Fat Tail, and Cresite geckos, Plated lizards, Sav monitors, and many many others. :D I love lizards.

I went with the Chinese water dragon (i had one when I was in high school and it was an awesome animal), Rhino Iguana (these animals are amazing and I would love to own one some day), Gargoyle and Cresteds (great geckos I love them!), Giant Day Gecko (these guys are so pretty and have cool personalities) and finally other. The other is for my Caiman Lizard Mango. He/She is way cool and I love watching him eat snails!

Gotta be Gargs for me. I never wanted a lizard, to many care reqs, until I saw how easy rhacs were.


Plus gargs have beautiful granite like patterns, And I mean they are just so easy and friendly. And unlike cresties who may be more energetic and colorful, gargs regenerate there tails.



Not to say other lizards aren't beautiful, but I stress enough over my snakes temps. I don't need to add in, UV light and raising insects.

Now that's how to live! ;) I wouldn't mind a house full of monitors and BPs!

I agree with you there!

Tokays myself, but have to admit I'm interested in getting some Mali's

I voted other because I love my chameleons and my satanic leaf-tailed geckos!

First I would like to say this has got to be the longest poll I have ever seen on a forum. I voted bearded dragon since I have one.

My little Lygodactylus williamsi are my current favorites. Dwarf geckos are just plain cute. I generally like small day geckos.
I'm also looking forward to eventually having some Goniurosaurus hainanensis (cave geckos).
