Hi, Frank Indiviglio here. I’m a herpetologist, zoologist, and book author, recently retired from a career spent at several zoos, aquariums, and museums, including over 20 years with the Bronx Zoo. This article covers the care of some lizards new to the trade and a few old favorites of mine that seem not to get much attention…but should! http://blogs.thatpetplace.com/thatr...small-and-colorful-insectivores/#.U_UbJGNDV30

HOW ABOUT A BALL PYHTAN? THOSE R REELY UNIQUE AND RAER.

Sorry, my distaste for certain sects of the reptile hobby becomes more vitriolic by the month.

Great article, but I would have liked to have seen maybe 8-10 species listed; there are some really cool geckos out there that nobody keeps. Night lizards and collared lizards would be cool too (I saw CB Xantusia sp. at an expo last year), and some of the "other" Anoles out there are very interesting if you can get them (legally).
