i want to start off by saying this. i am a thirteen year old who has five american green tree frogs, a white german shepherd, and many responsibilities. I LOVE reptiles though. I had three turtles for a while, but they got an infection and died a short while after i got them. i later learned they came with the infection. i have since done a lot of research and saved a lot of money and now i have had tree frogs for a month. I would also like to add that i have a 25$ allowance PER MONTH. adding up money that i make from odd jobs, i would say i get about thirty five dollars a month. I spend about ten dollars on crickets every two months.

point is that my parents have no problem with me getting reptile and amphibians and fish as long as they are my responsibility, i dont slack off with my dog or school, they stay in my room and they dont get too big. So i really love reptiles, and i am looking for one that is not too expensive to save up for or keep. i dont mind about 150$ to save up for not counting tax, but when it gets to the 200$-250$ range i dont really like it.

So my question is does anybody know of a reptile that is cheap to house properly and feed properly? or one that sounds good for my situation? i dont really like leapord geckos though just putting that out there. OR SNAKES. no snakes. period.

thanks for reading!!!! i really appriciate your help and i love the frog forum. please comment or post, i love getting them.
