I want another Reptile outside of my breeding project as a pet. I have had some interest in Leachianus Geckos, Spiny Tailed Monitors and Blue Tongued Skinks but all are a bit pricey. I haven't wanted to have any lizards that require a mainly insect based diet. Crickets stink I don't like to have to take care of them and they make a lot of noise dusting them is a pain in the butt and they escape and get all over the place. I have been thinking about settling on a Crested Gecko but feel I may be overall disappointed with the small size of the animal. So even though I have a general distaste for the keeping and care of insects I have been seeing a lot of cute Bearded dragon videos on YouTube. When I was a kid Bearded Dragons weren't even popular yet and I cut my teeth on tokay geckos, leopard geckos and box turtles things like that. When they finally did hit the scene they were than as now kind of laughable to seasoned hobbyists as "just a beginner pet" and "not exotic enough for me" because of their huge popularity and availability. I have always felt the same that I liked the more advanced stuff and when they came around I was moving on to monitors and boas. Well anyways now just seeing how interactive they are in general and their relatively easy care and good nature small price tag and not too small but decent size I think I might want one after all since the things I really want are a bit expensive and probably won't be anywhere near as fun as far as being anything close to an actual "pet" type pet. So any of you ladies and gents out there have any of these and do you think it would be worth my while? Should I just save up for a blue tongue an ackie or a leachie?
