So here it is, I myself own a Ball Python but its mine(Apparently the little sister thinks this is a problem lol)

So here I am looking into lizard reptile pets for her preferably on the low maintenance side and okay with being handled. At least once to twice daily for little periods of time(Barely 5 minutes).

Also on the smaller side bearded dragon is about as large as is comfortable.

I have been between bearded and leopard gecko's for awhile. If I am on the right track or maybe missed a possibility please let me know!
