"The three choices we're looking at again, are bearded dragons, crested geckos, and leopard geckos. What we're going to do first, is we're going to do just a broad overview of a--the bearded dragon, just to kind of get an idea if that's the kind of lizard that you would like. Like I said, this is a baby. He's going to get about eighteen to twenty-four inches long, so they do get rather big, so you do need a little bit of space to give him. You're looking at a forty gallon breeder when he's at an adult size, so he's going to take up a little bit more room than the other two. However, they are much more intractable lizard. He's going to be a lot more easy to play with, quote unquote. Much more likely to ride on your shoulder maybe, or hang out with you. They are a very friendly lizard, but they do tend to go through a little bit of a teenage stage where they get kind of grumpy, and they come in some very attractive colors. So they're a very, very good choice, as far as beginner lizards go. Like I said, they do get a little big, so for some people, maybe if you live in an apartment or something, it's not the right lizard for you. But if you had the space to get him, you really can't go wrong with them."
