best beginner

My first Cham was a Senegal. Their smaller then panthers and veileds by far, about palm length excluding the tail. But mine was super friendly and it took a lot to stress her out. Plus they get some real nice color patterns. They are pretty cheap, only about 50 bucks, and are great with hand feeding. I would always recommend one if you wanna start out small.

Personally, since i breed veileds and panthers i would say that veileds are the best to start out with. But, if you are willing to spend money i would definitely get a panther! They both require the same treatment or attention and they are so addictive once you get one!
