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

    Re: What should i get?

    Forget a leo, get a crested gecko 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
    2.2.6 Crested Geckos (Ace, Hot Pocket, Secret Agent Man, Dot, Baby, Yoshi, Velvet, TJ, Brisk, Irwin)
    0.0.1 Bubblegum (snow?) Corn Snake - Penguin
    1.0.0 Ball Python - Sharky
    0.1.0 Flap Neck Chameleon - Sheila
    0.1.0 Jack Russel Terrier - Katie
    1.0.0 Fat Orange Cat - Mr. Fat (aka Oliver)

    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?

    Re: What should i get?

    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 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!
