Okay guys i am BUSTING

for another reptile. But i would like one that does not need heat or UVB. There are issues with using up eletricity

Does such a reptile exist? I would perfer it to be a lizard, as my gf has issues with snakes, im lucky im allowed one

.

Thanks guys.

As long as your house isn't freezing a crested gecko sounds like the fellow for you.

Ive had these recommneded to me by other memebers.

I know you guys know your stuff, but are you SURE that they can live happily at room temp? I dont want to kill the little guy if i get one. Because ive seen care sheets that say a basking spot of 28*C is required.

Thanks.

Pygmy bearded chameleons can and do live very happily at room temp.

Some amphibians also live quite happily at room temp but then you've got filtration costs etc.

A crested does sound like the business. So boromale, do you by any chance live in middlesbrough?XD
