I'm gonna have to sit on the fence- in order to understand snakes you must first understand how they evolved from lizards. After all, if it wasn't for enterprising skinks and monitors, there wouldn't be any snakes as we know them...

It's like watching a puppy chase its tail. You know it will never reach it, but the puppy doesn't know that, and you keep watching and encouraging because frankly it's quite amusing.
hoggies = leopard geckos, anoles, sand fish, house geckos
arboreals
GTP, ETB, = cresties, tokays, gargoyles
all depends what your looking for really as the choices are huge, i've missed millions out and will most probably get flamed for it as my sizes could be wrong, but i personally enjoy both species.
some i love and some i dislike, there are certain snakes that i would never keep and others i would love to own in a heart beat, same with lizards
i love my uromastyx Geyri and one day would love to build a huge enclosure for a egyptian Uro, but once that enclosure was built i might be tempted to get a Retic, tegu, burm, nile monitor, anaconda, kimberley rock monitor, its a very hard decision to make
but some lizards are cute, and some snakes have beautiful markings decisions decisions
