I've drug my hubby to the pet store with me a few times to buy dog and rat stuff and I always find him hanging out over by the reptiles. When I was cooing over baby ferrets the other day, I once again found him looking at the reptiles. I asked him if he was interested in one and he said, "Yah, kind of. I think having one would be neat."
I am not a reptile person...but I'd help him take care of one. For my sake, however, I want it to be something fairly low maintenance and hardy. He'd like to be able to handle it if possible, but something super interactive isn't necessary. (Kind of like a hamster.)
I don't want to spend a ton of money on a tank/set up, so that limits the size of said reptile. All of that being said, I think a Leopard Gecko would be a good fit? Could anybody yell me more info about them? Proper habitat and upkeep?
Is there another reptile that comes to mind? (No snakes.) I've cared for a Crested Gecko before, so they came to mind, but I wasn't head over heals with the one I helped care for and wouldn't really pick one over something else.
