    I would say not a beardie because they eat a LOT.. and you can't just throw crickets in the cage.. they need veggies too. Probably a blue tongue is good. BTS eat veggies too sometimes I think..

    The ackie will eat a ton too.. but they are strictly carnivores.

    ...that question should have alot more detail...it depends on how much money you have to spend, what size enclosure you are expecting to provide, how much time you have to care for them, etc....also, your level of husbandry experience is a factor....and what you like

    I started with bearded dragons.....but I have the money and space to care for them It was a toss up between beardies and ackies for me. I really dont care for skinks so they werent even a consideration.

    I think that with some husbandry experience and unlimited resources.....all three would be great first lizards

    leopard geckos are also good... as they only eat silkworms or crickets, no greens. and you only feed them 5 out of 7 days. (water dish needed)

    UTH and a nocturnal light... and you are set!

    well, perhaps a better way to do this is...

    stop and read the top... that it says it's a poll and see the choices....

    duh
