Hello

My name is Alex, im 16 and come live in Devon. The animals in my
house are 1 dog, 3 cats, 2 fish, a dozen stick insect, 2 giant
african snails and 4 land hermit crabs.
I would like to get a lizard or two but I am finding it quite hard.
The problem is that I have to satisfiy my Mum's critier as she will
be the one who will have to look after it when I go away. Can anyone
tell me of any lizards that are smaller than a breaded dragon (she
asmost let me get one until she asked how big they get),diernal
(awake in the day), prefrably herbivore or omnivore, but not
essential, attractive looking or interesting and is good for a
beginner.

Thanks

Alex

Hi Alex, Have to agree with Clem, a leopard gecko is your best bet. The most obvious thing that fits your criteria is a uromastyx although eyed lizards could ...
