Before thinking of buying a lizard, the most important factor to be considered is the full-grown size of the lizard as some of the species can grow up to six feet long. Naive pet owners should certainly opt for the ones, which are easier to handle, and certainly not for the ones which grow very big. They are small in size, require less maintenance and do not demand special conditions such as big terrariums with special UV lightning.
Potential owners must carefully observe the lizard before buying it. There are signs that give indication about whether the pet is healthy or not. Swelling on the abdomen or on any other part of the body should also be checked out.
If the reptile has any respiratory disease, its eyes will be swollen and there will be mucus formation around the nose. Ask for handling the pet. This should be done to test the strength of the lizard.
They are also very-good inexpensive pets. The cost can be cut down a bit by not relying on the pet store completely and doing some self-research.
