Thanks for all the input! I find it very useful to ask people who actually keep them rather than just looking at fact sheets on the internet. I am leaning towards a skink right now. I like their size and they seem rather chill and cool. I would not get one for quite a while, but I can keep an eye out for deals on larger enclosures, etc. now.
The crested geckos are cute too, but I somehow like the weight of the skink-- kinda like a cat or dog with scales.![]()
