Really cool reptiles on this thread! My 10 yr old daughter wants to get some Geiko's , I mean gecko's. Haha, I want to know what we are getting into. She is looking at Leopard geckos and some white ones too. Anyone have any advice for her-me?
Leopard geckos are great starter lizards..but be careful where you get your lizards. When i was about your daughters age I bought 2 leopard geckos from a store, and they didnt seem very healthy but they assured my father they were tired and just got in recently.. they died in less than a week and didnt have any interested in eating/drinking/living once they got back. Make sure they're active.. im sure they'll let you handle some.. I have a bearded dragon currently and they're super simple and awesome.. they hibernate!! :D Both lizards will eat crickets.. i know bearded dragons like carrots and collard greens and whatever you can catch in your backyard :D EXCEPT FOR LIGHTNING BUGS ITS LIKE RAT POISON we lost our first beardie to one single lightning bug :( I think its a great idea for your daughter!! They do have breeders around the U.S. I think.. for both kinds of lizards! Hope I helped :)

They are geckos from a family member who moved and they are healthy. Thanx for the advice.

I have two Blue Tongued Skinks. This one is Rex, he's about 4 foot long. My other one is darker and about 3.5 ft long. Both are very friendly and smart.
