What Lizards Do YOU Prefer? (POLL!)

Ok hopefully I can post a poll with this one if I'm not too slow LOL. Anywho, I always see threads and polls dealing with snakes, and I never really see too much with lizards. So, I want to see what lizards you guys prefer. Here is a MULTIPLE CHOICE poll (I will also vote:D)

Also I wanna say by what lizards you prefer meaning what lizards are more likely something you'd keep in your collection.

leopard geckos FTW

If i had to go with any lizard, it'd have to be cresteds and gargs

Plated Lizards and Fire Skinks are awesome too.

Fire Skinks would be in the Skink category:D

And the ones I listed were just off the top of my head, I should've researched more lizards before I listed.

I hope a lot of people answer to this thread, I really wanna see all the results it can get to see what lizard people will most likely prefer. So far I'm seeing Cresteds

Exactly what I have,...Tegus' :P.

Leos and Armadillo lizards are my favorite, i havent seen an armadillo lizard in years. that was my first herp

what bout all the cameleons??? they are one of my fav

How could you vote any other way than a Argentine Black and White Tegu? Just look at their adorable little faces. :D

My Schniders Skink was my First Lizard and he is awesome, even though he is wild caught he is still super friendly. My Panther Chameleon is my other favorite

I chose other for gilla's or leachianus.

You forgot my favorite lizards: Philippine sailfin dragon, rainbow uromastyx, and the satanic leaftail gecko. Also, I have a red iguana who is a beauty. If I had more $$$ I would add an albino iguana and a Cayman Blue.

The rhino iguanas are my absolute favorite!

Wow I can't even believe I forgot about Chameleons!! I should have put more thought into the lizards LOL.

Horned lizards! (horny toads) Awesome little lizards! 13 species to choose from!

I got alot but my favorite has got to be chameleons

i love my basilisk's:)

I agree, I love my little ones :)

Wheres the Chameleons!?! :taz:
i voted for Tokays and uros
tokays are the best gecko in the world :D

i voted other and love the blue tongue skink. so many variations and they eat just about anything and they are super hardy. just a great great animal!

Leos, cresties, and I also hit "other" for blue tongued skinks, Rhacodactylus chahoua, and Racodactylus leachianus. I currently have a leo and a crestie, and would love to have a chahoua and/or leachie some day.

i need some aussie gecko love on this poll!

Ackie Monitors.

I really really want a bearded dragon some day!!

My son wants a beardie soooooooooo bad!!!!! I think I have to put my foot down with the hubby and get him one as soon as my racks arrive for the snakes. Lol

I on the other hand am completely in love with Black and White Tegu's. I have only met two in real life and they both were just sooooooo cool with amazing personalities. There is a huge one at the pet store that I go to for my feeders and he is so cute. He walks up to you and kisses your ankle....hmmmm...maybe he is tasting it...lol
I just want to squeeze them and kiss them right on the nose.....:rolleyes: lol

Crested and Leopards take the cake for me! I would love to have beardies one day but they are just a little too high maintenance for me at the moment!

I voted other due to the fact that the Regal Horned Lizard was not listed.

All of the big monitors, but Asian water ([I]Varanus salvator ssp.[I]) are my favourites.

Chris

I had a few votes, but also chose "Other" for Sudan Plated Lizards, because I have one who is just an absolutely fantastic animal. Great poll, but tough to include all the options!

my bearded dragon gizmo!!


so cute i got no pics but u can see him eating strawberries on my utube channel :P

I have always liked the looks of the Basilisk and the Frilled because I like anything that looks like a dinosaur or dragon.

But I now own a bearded dragon because they are extremely cute and have the right personality I was looking for in a pet for my son and I.

Beardies definitely have awesome personalities. To be honest, I don't normally like lizards as much, but Beardies are definitely what I like in a lizard.

Leachies and cresties!!! :banana:

lol same mine downs 6 silk worms before u can spell silk worm :O:rolleye2:

I picked all the ones I've owned, except for Savannah but unfortunately I owned one of these when I was much younger, it was CH or imported and died within 2 months.

I see nobody is giving the long tailed lizards any love!

Gotta go wit the savs and beardies. Will end up wit Uro soon

:) Fun!

Personally, I have a rescue beardie and a gargoyle gecko. Budo (the beardie) is the light of my life. A pain in the you-know-where and a stuck up, spoiled rotten brat, but still the light of my life. ;) Love him to death. I've never really been much of a gecko person, but I fell in love with Piedra (the garg) at an expo and I had to bring her home!! She is absolutely amazing, so gorgeous and so much fun!

If I ever have some more space, I adore water monitors, tree monitors, and green iggys. :D

Agreed! Definitely need an option for leachies!! They are the neatest! I'm crossing my fingers that Giant Geckos will be at the expo in April... You never know, I might just come home with a leachie of my own. :D

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).
