    by the way i have already had a lizard so any that you need a bit more experience for are fine i have only got a leopard gecko but i have cared from it been two weeks old and there was many obsticles with heat and diet when i first got it that i have managed to overcome so i would say the ones that aren't for beginners are definatley in my boundaries and Truffs1178 its not that i dont like frogs its just you can't handle most of them with the controversial exception of the whites but with reps nearly all of them are handable tho frogs can be cheaper to setup

    When I say easy to care for I generally mean after they are set up correctly (which is why I mentioned it would not be cheap).

    I was trying to think of commonly available cheap lizards.

    Sorry if I confused anyone.

    African fat tail gecko? gargoyle gecko?

    Keep in mind that no reptile should be handled like a dog or a cat. They do need their time alone (not saying this is what you do, just pointing it out )

    not to offend anyone...... when someone is asking what can i get that would be cheap, I'm thinking right away... well there is nothing wrong with getting someone and housing someone not paying for it much, but will you have $ to go to the vet if needed, get meds, etc, in other words would you be able to support and do what is needed (and pay for it) in time of crisis? the cost of reptile or any other pet for the matter doesn't consist just from how much the actual pet is or much his enclosure is. and actually in a lot of cases a pet itself is the least expensive part, for pacs i can tell that the cost of actual frog is about perhaps 1/10 of everything what is here to support his environment, the amount i paid to try help my rescue frog is not even polite to say in a company the point is everything adds and before getting someone you should consider other sides of responsible pet ownership.
    just something to think about... vet visits may be very expensive....
