Do you mean as a starter lizard? As most common starters are leopard geckos and bearded dragons x

[Ryan1990]

As Nat said, leopard gecko's or bearded dragons =] I definatly wouldn't go with a cham as a starter lizard.
Other lizards to think about are crested geckos, african fat tailed geckos and maybe blue tounge skinks.. although blue tounges aren't always freindly.
Hope that helps a bit

[jaysnakeman]

go for a gecko there what everyone starts with

[Nat]

lol leopard gecko or fat tail only Id say if u want a gecko...not all species are so easy to care for..and I definately wouldnt recommend a crested for a starter lol

[mike515]

depends on the sort of lizard you want. and the amount of time and effort (and money) you want to spend.

Both my leos and fat tails, cost about 230 quid with full setup plus two of each lizard

My beardies however cost 430 with full setup.

A friend of mine started with collareds and he's done well. Now he has 4 leos, 1 blue tongue and a cham.

Depends entirely on how much space you have, how confident you are, how much research you do, if you have anybody around you who is experienced (i.e. mates, neighbours, access to local reptile societies), how much you want to spend, how much you can afford to spend on the lizard in question, the equipment needed to keep it and it's food and heating bills how much time you want to invest, and what exactly you want/expect from your lizard at the end of the day.

i went for a leo as my first lizard cause they are soo much cheaper and require less space and time

[Ryan1990]

Hmmm.. I don't see why a crested gecko isn't a good starter gecko. Quite simple setup (just plenty of decor). Easy to feed, not expensive to feed either. Setup is quite cheap aswell as it doesn't have to be big because cresties are small
Handling.. they don't all like being handled but with some time and pantients most will become handable.

In saying this a leopard gecko still proves to be the best starter lizard

I started with a BD shes my baby, did plenty of research, made sure it was exactly the right lizard for me. Whatever you choose do plenty of research, you can buy you setup bit by bit once you know what you need so cost isn't that much of a issue, if you are set on a certain lizard, you wont mind if it takes a while before you can afford to buy it, cause you will want to make sure everything is set up correctly, so that they have a long happy live. Also before getting your lizard, make sure you have a vet that knows what they are doing, best to have everything in place beforehand, then sit back relax and enjoy, the lizard you really wanted, not just the easiest/cheapest. Have fun.
