Anyhow I used her as a calming measure in another thread, lol, didn’t work, it was more of a joke anyways.
But if your kid wants a lizard that is super lazy, will hang on you for hours and never move, you can place it on the floor and it doesn’t move much, so no worries about it running away.
But it can be handled all the time after it’s a few months old and eating well. Doesn’t take much maintenance, but ears live food, like worms, crickets and pinky mice when it gets larger.
Mind you if you want the perfect lizard, a water dragon. I had those years ago. I built a fish tank in their enclosure, they would poop in there and since I had a filter and fish in there, it would break down the waste, no scooping poop out of a cage, once every two weeks I’d clean the tank like you would a normal fish tank. Best part, I’d buy feeder goldfish, and the dragons would pick put their own fish when hungry.
They were also big enough to handle cats by wipping them with their tails.
Anyhow here is picture of the bearded dragon.
