Hello!

Well, I've done this all a bit backwards really!

I have already posted about getting a uro and falling in love with them.

Now I have a head on my shoulders and I'd like some advice into which breed of lizard to get.

I'm not so keen on insects *shudders* well not ones with too many legs. I could probably cope with mealworm type maggotty looking things - if I used tweezers!

So I'm thinking of a tank 4 foot by 2 foot for floor space.

So... expert people

What breed should I get?

I dont want anything that's going to get too big - loved the iguanas I saw but think I may become afraid of something that can grow over a foot longer than me!

I'm from Worksop England> I am 23 and have a 6 year old boy.

We currently have a black rat snake and a cornsnake.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: Hello!

Welcome to Herp Center!
I'm not a lizard person, but I'm sure someone will come along to answer your question about feeding. In the meantime, you can check out our caresheet section (Orange box top of the page) and see what the various lizards there should be fed.

Re: Hello!

Welcome to HC. (lol) If you don't mind mealworms or other maggot type critters, I would go with a leopard gecko. In that size of an enclosure, you can get a few of them. (I am partial to leopard geckos.)

Re: Hello!

Welcome to the board! Leopards are adorable and they are not itimidating at all. Bearded dragons are cute too...
