What Reptile should I get?

[BunnyGirl]

Hello,
I just got a chameleon a few weeks ago. He is doing very well. I am going to the Reptile Expo in Manchester in April. I want to get another reptile there, but I am not sure what to get. It needs to be on the smaller end, not exceeding a 20GL aquarium or a like sized terrarium. I love snakes but can't have one at this time. I currently have 7 Rabbits, 1 berber skink, and an ambanja chameleon. I an not huge on frogs, Possibly dart frogs? Can anyone offer some suggestions?

Crested or Gargoyle Geckos are awesome. They are ok to handle and have great personalities.

I would recomend a small screen cage for them rather than glass but they are fun!

I was just looking around and I researched alittle of the Rankin or Lawsons Dragon. Does anyone have experiance with them, or know any breeders?
Thank you

I would recommend a leopard gecko. They come in all kinds of really cool colors and patterns and they are usually pretty tame. They live a long time too, my first one lived for 10 years

Crested Geckos are great in my opinion. Been keeping them for a while.

Most people who like chameleons will drift towards dart frogs, Phelsuma species, and Uroplatus species. I keep dart frogs and I love them, they're active and fun to watch and you can have fun making their vivariums. Real great display animals.

Chameleons are diurnal, active the same time you are, and that's enticing and I find that is a paramount quality in the animals I tend to keep.

Leopard geckos, crested geckos (and even Uroplatus), are all nocturnal, and you rarely even see em.

Bearded dragons get pretty damn big so you need a long enclosure for those.

Mountain horned dragons are pretty cool, Acanthosaura and Gonocephalus species.

Other than that, there are lots of different chameleons and they're all cool!

if you like small easy to take care off reptiles you should get a crested gecko or a leopard gecko. i also heard some small moniters
can make good pets.

They don't all get really large. Some species stay rather small even being full grown. They can make very nice little pets.
