    What should i get?
    a baby beardie? or a baby leopard gecko?


    im looking for the one that is easiest to take care of

    and the one that is the least expensive to own

    and im also looking for the one that is most docile

    help?

    A leopard gecko is MUCH cheaper to feed than a beardie.. easier care too I think. Both are quite docile usually.

    Forget a leo, get a crested gecko :P They're easy to care for and MUCH cooler than leos......*addicted to crested geckos*


    lol I'd go with a leo out of those two choices

    cresteds are great....morphs can be in the hundreds...normals aren't too bad.

    Cresties are cool too! Being able to be kept at room temps simplifies things for sure.

    Hoff, i suggest doing a google search for the animals you're thinking about. read up on them, get to know their general information and ask particular questions that you might have once you have a general understanding of the animal. know what i mean?:) ;)

    yeah, i usually like to look at a bunch of different sources also. no need to apologize.

    out of the bearded dragon and the leopard gecko, what you're describing you want is definitely a leopard gecko. aft's are a lot like leopards and cresteds are probably the easiest.

    I'm just going to jump right in with the crestie love lol.

    Their temperments are great! They are a bit fast, and love to jump, but they arent mean little buggers, and have the cutest looking faces :D they're kept at room temp so that saves money on heat lamps. You can keep them on paper towels, though they do require a lot of humidity (around 60-75% at least). They eat Crested Gecko Diet (a powder), meal worms, and crickets. They're soft like velvet, and they're aboreal, so they'd be much happier in a tank that is taller than it is wide. Throw in some branches wrapped in plastic vines and they're in heaven! :)
