Hi! Any ideas on the best reptile for beginner?

[Jczreptiles]

Cornsnakes
Bearded dragons
Colombian Rainbow boas
Kenyan sand boas
anoles
royal pythons
smaller species of carpet pythons
hognoses
garters
ribbon snakes
house snakes
Geckos

[pmcnaught]

i know the guys above are saying leo or corn snake but why not go with a wonder gecko or vietnemise blue tree frog both are great speicies and my wonder geckos in my opinion have much more character than leos,
my recomendation is wonder gecko,
their care is virtually the same as leos but just something a bit different,
cheers

whites tree frogs
pacman frog
fire bellied toad

Whatever you decide to start with, It will not be long before you then decide to get another one. We startedwith a leo and 4 months later ended up with a beardie

If its snakes, Iwould say a cornsnake. but read up about them first.

Id say either a crested gecko or leopard gecko. Avoid chameleons for your first reptile

OMG, you CANNOT keep these lizards in the conditions specified, they need either a big or high viv to climb, humidity , which is the opposite of the OP, she asked for a easy rep with small viv, that count's out all of the ones in red out. the cresty's won't tolerate too high temp's either.
