anoles won't bite unless cornered but you really should never handle them as they are easily stressed and will drop their tails at a moments notice if you are looking for something to interact with, I'd recommend an arboreal gecko rather than a ground gecko, as being climbers they are more likely to interact with people frogs and snakes are another option, yes they (duh) are not lizards but they are probably the best option if you want something to handle without being bitten Edited by stargatedalek, Jul 15 2014, 08:57 AM.

When it comes to amphibians, there is not many you could interact. These are the ones I know of: White's Tree Frog- could be wild caught or CB White-lipped Tree Frog- Must be CB if you want to handle it Vietnamese Mossy Frog- Must be CB if you want to handle it, but it depends mostly on the individual Any member of the Phyllomedusa Genus- could be wild caught or CB, they don't jump, they walk Tiger Salamander- could be wild caught or CB Larger Salamanders- Must be CB if you want to handle it Edited by Terrena Laxamentum, Jul 15 2014, 10:27 AM.

most aquatic amphibians can be easily burned/poisoned by humans skin contact, so thats something to be careful of |

Ok, I am only talking about bearded dragon-size and smaller lizards, and $200 or less, as I am not "rich" right now xD, so no knob-tails or monitor lizards, as I obviously don't have $1100 in my pocket ![]() EDIT: I wish I could have Godzilla's son/daughter, no matter how big and aggressive. Also, can someone tell me a bit about hognose snakes? Edited by Viggen, Jul 16 2014, 09:55 AM.

With the site I gave you, knobbies cost $150 or less... Hog Nose snakes (Which are also in the site) is the larger species of hog nose that I suggest. They are very cute and fatty , And they are great to handle.

A bit off topic, but since we're talking about pet lizards, does anyone here has particular experience with skinks? I've got this little one from my friend, who found it trapped in her pantry with a broken leg, rescued it and since it has become too tame to survive in the wild, brought it to me, the leg has since healed, but i have zero experience with this kind of animal, i've had iguanas before, but i don't think my experience with them would be of any help. Any tips for taking care of this cute little fella: Spoiler: click to toggle and a full picture,here it is in the day it came, that broken rear leg has now healed fully: Spoiler: click to toggle

since its native temperature and humidity should not be so much of a concern (except perhaps with seasonal shifts) |

What about diet and housing, i've been keeping it on an old tortoise terrarium and feeding it maily with mealworm beetles and the occasional moth (it seems to dislike the adult beetles preferring the larva and the moths), any additional care i should take? |

Yeah, skinks are a very simple species to keep most of the time. |

they are more likely to hide in a corner and pout if they are upset than to bite, they also tend to play dead (kind of famous for it) but any animal will bite if its desperate (or if its a playful/curious bite) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hognose there are a great many different species, and different sizes |

I suggest the western, they are nice, big, fatty, and of course, docile. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n207/Arachnoking/Hoggle005.jpg I think this is full grown. |
