Smile Noobie Here!

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the forum and am looking to get back into keeping reptiles. Looks like a great forum to be a part of!

Had a Royal Python about 8 years ago and then a corn snake.

Looking to get a Lizard, and i'm after one that can be tamed to be handled easily. Used to like lounging round with the Royal Python (corn snake was a bad biter though so it stayed in the viv).

My intial thoughts are Bearded Dragon, with the possibility of trying to breed them in the future as experience grows.

Any other suggestions?

ps. I'm in Cronton near Widnes (just outside Liverpool) so any opinions on the best places to go to look at different species would be appreciated!

Thanks

Jimmy

to the dark side

bearded dragons or leopard geckos are most probably the best starting off point for lizards,

both are great and come in a wide range of morphs, just depend on how much your looking at spending really

enjoy

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Yeah, the Beardie was my first choice, was just wondering if there was anything else that I should consider before finalising my decision

Leopard Geckos are nice but I think i'd rather have the Beardie.
