So you've finally gotten bored with all of those snakes, and now you want to keep something else. Turtles take up too much room, frogs require too much clean water; the next acquisition is going to be a lizard. But what kind of lizard should you get? Before you decide on the lizard itself, you should really think about what type of set-up you can provide for it.
A large percentage of successful lizard-keeping lies in matching an environment with an appropriate lizard. For example, if you have a reptile room that is always damp and hot, a day gecko or an anole colony might be a good choice, while a desert skink probably won't do as well. On the other hand, a dry apartment might be appropriate for a leopard gecko or a spiny lizard, as the appropriate heat and water requirements can be provided easily.
