Hey /an/. I've been doing some research, and I'm thinking of getting a smallish snake, a smallish lizard, or some other kind of reptile/amphibian. I have a cat and a betta right now, so maybe something that wouldn't interfere with the cat. My friend has a milk snake that I really like. I'm thinking maybe a garter snake because they only get to be like 4 feet from what I've read. We've raised a chinese water dragon, white's tree frogs, toads from tadpoles, and some other kinds of lizards here and there. I'm wondering what your experiences are with these kinds of pets and what you recommend. I have lots of time to devote to them, too.

Garters sometimes have slightly difficult diets. Fish, worms, etc. that are annoying to buy. But sometimes they'll eat rodents.

Get a Rosy Boa. 4-5 feet, really docile, and extremely long lived. A bit different than a plain cornsnake or ball python too.

Yeah, I'm kind of afraid of rodents. I'm leaning towards getting a bearded dragon right now. They are SO cute and I feel like I could take care of it well. If I got a snake, I'd get a constricting type, and not a bitey type. I have this irrational fear of being bitten by rodents, birds, or insects. What uncommon things should I know about a bearded dragon?

Bearded dragons eat a fucking shitton of food and that food is crickets. They're overrated too. Get an Uromastyx instead if you want a lizard.

Buy frozen mice and thaw one once a week to feed to the snake. Every pet store carries them. Most snakes will eat them.

Snakes don't need UV lighting. Only a heat pad if it's exceptionally cold. And they need nowhere near the space of a lizard. 20 gallon for a Rosy, 50-60 gallon for a Bearded Dragon. Call it, friendo.

What you new reptilefags need to realize is that your options go beyond cornsnakes, ball pythons, leopard geckos, and bearded dragons. Their exists a wonderful world of thousands of species in the captive reptile hobby. Takes like 5 minutes of searching on google to discover it.

They can eat mealworms too, I'm not afraid of those. The uromastyx was alright looking, I just got myself set on the bearded dragon. I've always thought they were really cool pets. The tank space isn't a problem, but the cost might be. For the snakes thing, I'm just going off what I've read are good snakes for beginners, which were milk, corn, and ball pythons. I'd go for another kind of snake sure, but that's why I made this thread, to learn what I can't seem to find on google
