Small children and big lizards

[Tongue Flicker]

Wow a young one rejecting the idea of a new pet? This is new. Anyways, i had my first big lizard when i was 9. It was a sailfin lizard that my brother used to keep. Petkeeping for kids is usually a case to case basis depending on the level of maturity, sense of responsibility as well as knowledge. Why not give it a shot first? If your mom suggests it and the breeder is your dad's friend, chances are they'll be able to help you with takin care of it. Careful though as this maybe a parental trap, checking if you could handle responsibility or you're just acting on whim.

Anyways good luck!

Can you check on the lizards to see how they look like and their level of tameness? Then you will have some actual supportive evidence of your worries.

What is your brother's say on this? If your Mom is making decision; let her worry about your brother caring for his .
