What reptile would you say does not need high humidity (and is basically good for beginners)?
Leopard geckos and bearded dragons are great for beginners. Both require dry setups with access to drinking water.

To think, I had just finished reading about and considering a leopard gecko.Leopard geckos
Yea, I already have a Cali.kingsnake hatchling (who is already a foot and a half). A corn snake does sound good, but I my mom wouldn't want another snake (she doesn't like 'em as much). :-/If your into lizards I'd say get a Leopard Gecko, A Snake a Corn Snake or California Kingsnake, There all pretty cheap and as long as they arent tiny they're hard to kill.
Oooh, just too gorgeousCrested Gecko
I have heard kingsnakes are really aggressiveIf your into lizards I'd say get a Leopard Gecko, A Snake a Corn Snake or California Kingsnake, There all pretty cheap and as long as they arent tiny they're hard to kill.
NO. Do NOT under any circumstances buy a gecko from a chain like petco or petland. Just don't do it. They tend to be in terrible health and up and die on you, we just had a PetCo or Petland or whatever gecko die here on the forums in the last few weeks I think. Don't support the way these stores treat their animals; look on the for sale/trade forum here or look through the breeder reviews to find other sites. Even shipped to you, they'll often be cheaper than what the pet stores are demanding for their crappy parasite-ridden lizards.As far as a Leopard Gecko, I'm considering one. Though, petland discounts wants, I think, $100 for one.
With any reptile, the exotic morphs are gonna cost you an arm and a leg. And with any reptile, there will be sites charging you five or ten times what other sites are charging you for essentially the same animal. You can get most of the more common color patterns for under a hundred bucks from online breeders if you keep looking.Are Geckos supposed to be $275 and higher? I've ventured throughout sites and saw some that pirce (and higher). I've even seen a Snow Gecko (gorgeous) for $2,000!
