BTS's are awesome pets! They have very clear individual personalities. I've kept leopard geckos, chameleons, bearded dragons, snakes, etc., and both my reptile-reluctant boyfriend and I favor our two skinks.
In terms of care, BTS's do require a varied diet, but you can pick most of it up at a grocery store alongside your own food shopping. I find it much easier than going on cricket runs all the time (no space to breed our own in our apartment). The other "emotionally intelligent" lizards tend to need a similar degree of maintenance anyway (like bearded dragons and tegus).
This is our little rescue, Barnaby.
And our Irian Jaya, Tiberius.
