What should my next lizard be?

[hinoco1225]

I am trying to decide which lizard to get next. I have narrowed down my decision to either a third chameleon, a bearded dragon, or a leopard gecko. I will give you an overview of my thoughts, and then I would love to get opinions.

I would really love to get another male veiled chameleon since I want to breed them one day (not to mention I love them ). With a second male, I'll have another option in case the male I already have doesn't turn out to have colors I really like (of course I know that it could turn out that I don't particularly like either of their colors, but with two I would at least have a better chance of having one turn out really well). Another pro of getting another cham is that I already have an extra screen cage, so that's one less thing I'd have to buy.

I really want a beardie because I just love them. I've never personally had one before, but I've heard so many stories about how much personality they have and what great pets they make. For me, the biggest negative aspect of a beardie is how big they get because of how expensive (and heavy) a terrarium for an adult will be.

I want a leopard gecko because I think they're pretty cool and I know they're relatively easy to keep (as in, they don't require UVB or as big of a terrarium as beardies & chams).

Any thoughts? What do you guys think?

if u want a pet u basically not take care of because their so easy id get a gecko. other than that ive wanted a beardie too i was going to get a female and a 40gall cage w setup for $40 bucks from my friend but gave it to my other friend who had no pets beause i have plenty to spare. bad choice on my part IMO (im so jelous!)

mabey pygmys? their so cute! but i always have those same 3 in mind. keep getting chams(my first and 2nd). get a gecko. the wiggle their tails when they eat and have sweet nature (most. it varies). if you want osmething a little hardyer that you can "snuggle" go a bit more expensive with a b dragon. they're both way cute.

All fantastic choices. Beardies are super cool, and full of personality. Obviously you know chameleons are badass. I'd say if you got the space and money go with either of those. Leopard geckos are awesome as well if you are looking to save some space and money. It's really about how much you are willing to spend. If you can afford the beardy I'd go for that personally. They are fun.
