Best Reptiles for beginners

This Article is about a list of reptiles i found to be the best reptiles for beginners, but just because they are easy to keep doesnt mean you dont need to pay Attention to them, you still gotta try your best!

First of all before you consider buying a reptile, you should keep the following pointers in Mind:

- do i have enough time for a pet? (you'll be the only person he relies on)

- do i have enough space? (some reptiles can grow big)

- is everything prepared for when its here? (Vivarium/Cage, UVB light, Waterbowl, bedding,Food)

- am i prepared to handle a reptile? (its your resposibility , how it reacts to you depends on how you tread it)

- am i willing to make a long commitment? (most reptiles live very long, ex: Iguana-20y / sulcata-50y /)

- what if ive grown to it and it suddenly dies? (it can be very sad when a beloved reptile dies)

If you already read the ponters and you still think you wanna have a reptile, then go ahead and find out what reptile would best fit to you.

Bearded Dragons: Bearded Dragons are easy to keep, and they wont run away that much, they actually like sitting around on your leg sometimes and just relaxing and enjoying your presence. Bearded Dragons wont need that much space at first, but you will have to get a UVB light and vitamin supplements with vitD3 or you b
earded dragon might become handicaped or even Die! Make sure to handle them alot, with beardies its really worth the effort cause they will be even more attached to you.

Leopard Geckos: A Leopard Gecko is easy to keep, easy to feed, but they are not gonna be sitting around with you or anything. A Leopard Gecko actually prefers to be alone, they are better in a tank only for observing. You cab Handle them if you like but they will just keep crawling, not like beardies.

Red-eared sliders: Red eared sliders are easy to keep when about a year old, if younger you gotta make sure the water stays really clean and make sure they eat the food, if they dont eat pellets try with living food, like worms or insects...

Corn Snakes: When it comes to snakes, i'm pretty sure Corn Snakes are the easiest to take care of and the safest since they dont grow too big. Sometimes people on the net or in a reptilestore might tell you that ball phytons would make good beginner pets, but ball phytons can be dangerous when fully grown if not kept well.

Horned Frogs: Horned Frogs also known as the Pacman Frog are easy to keep, just change the water daily or every other day. Dont worry about what he will eat, cause he will eat anything that moves, so becarefull where you stick your Fingers .
