My Pick for the Best Beginner Reptiles
These are my picks for the best beginner reptiles.
Leopard Geckos
In my opinion Leopard Geckos are the best beginner reptiles because they grow to a manageable size, they have beautiful colors and patters (called morphs), and they have many different personalities.
Leopard Geckos get to be around 9".
They need at least a 10 gallon tank (a 20 gallon tank is recommended).
Their daytime basking temperatures should be around 90 degrees.
They can eat things such as crickets, cockroaches, and meal worms.
You can use paper towels for their tank's substrate.

Crested Geckos
Crested Geckos grow to a manageable size, they have many beautiful morphs, and they are very easy to maintain.
Crested Geckos get to be around 8".
They can live in a 10-20 gallon tank (the tank needs to be tall).
The temperature in their tank should be 70-80 degrees.
You can use things like paper towels and forest floor bedding for their tank's substrate.
They can be fed strictly on a powdered food called Crested Gecko Diet (CGD for short) or they can be fed the CGD and crickets.

Corn Snakes
Corn Snakes come in many different morphs and most are very docile.
They get to be around 4'.
They need at least a 20 gallon tank.
Their daytime basking temperature should be around 84 degrees.
Most Corn Snakes will eat frozen and then thawed (F/T for short) mice.
You can use things like aspen and paper towels for their tank's substrate.

Bearded Dragons
Bearded Dragons come in quite a few different morphs, they have a lot of different personalities, and most are very docile.
Bearded Dragons get around 20".
They need at least a 40 gallon tank.
They need a 10.0 UVB light (I'd recommend a mercury vapor light).
Their daytime basking temperature should be around 100 degrees.
They need vegetables and they can eat other things such as crickets and cockroaches.
You can use things such as reptile carpet for the tank's substrate.
