    Recommend a lizard

    So I cannot get a tegu/ monitor until I'm in my own place. But I still really want a cool lizard. I wish shingle backs where cheaper/ more common because I think they're awesome. I like that tegu attitude if "I'm a big lizard but I'm super chill" I would consider a blue tongue skink but their shape disturbs me. So what do you guys has in mind?
    Ackies and timors are out of the question because I can't find ackie a anywhere and you can't hold a timor.

    Oh yeah, I get that, but I was just wondering what he thought of them. Me personally, I wouldn't worry if they never frilled if I owned them, wouldn't keep them for that.

    Bearded dragon. I know "everyone has one" but that's because they're chill and awesome pets. I had to get rid of mine when I moved, but I miss her! Or, if you want something smaller and a little more unique, get a Rankins Dragon.

    Uro's! If you want a big one, get an Egyptian uromastyx. Super cool, big, chill and freaking adorable.

    You could always go for a sheltopusik. The European legless lizard. Big lizard, no legs. I've got a friend who has a pair and they're pretty interesting.

    I've never understood a leg less lizard. Wouldn't that make it a snake? Confused...
