my sister had her class pet lizard for a summer and it was completely underwhelming. all it did was lay in its little house thing and never came out.get a dog.
i had so many when i was a young boy....i used to LOVE lizards and reptiles.
but i could not for the life of me keep those little guys alive. I had some anoles when i was real young, a chameleon when i was a little older and a leopard gecko when i was in high school and they all got sick and died for whatever reason....
