Tortoises and turtles and Chameleons. Oh my!

[j_h_smith]

Well lets just jump right in shall we?

Pretty straightforward question here. Out of these three what would generally be the easiest first reptile for a person?

I ask because my girlfriend has expressed a lot of interest in wanting one of the three. I think tortoises might be nixed from the list already because of the space requirements needed for most of them.

In the end it really boils down to which new friend she really wants. After she read the comments in the "Is it true what they say about chams?" thread I think she might be leaning towards chameleons for now. Thanks for the input in advance guys.

I would direct her towards a bearded dragon or leopard gecko. Each of your choices have their own issues. In my opinion, none are a good choice for a good first reptile.

Good Luck!
