<\/a>1. Iguana<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you aren\u2019t already sold on the striking beauty of an iguana, its temperament and personality will surely draw you in. Iguanas are generally laid back and love to lounge and bask in the sun or beneath a heating lamp. Once you\u2019ve earned your iguana\u2019s trust and they\u2019re comfortable in their environment, you\u2019ll find they\u2019re extremely friendly and will be happy to see you, especially if you\u2019re bringing their favorite treat\u2014which you might be happy to know is veggies and greens! Iguanas are herbivores, making them a great option for someone who isn\u2019t comfortable feeding live animals. A final amazing attribute of iguanas are their incredible memories. Iguanas can memorize surroundings, schedules, and even people. Unlike other reptiles, this means iguanas actually have the ability to recognize their owners and form long, trusting bonds. Iguanas do grow quite large, so before purchasing one make sure you have the means to house it. If you have the space and time for one, split a salad with an iguana and let the long-lasting friendship begin!<\/p>\n
Though many people grimace at the sight of these legless creatures, ball pythons actually make wonderful pets. Widely known as one of the most docile breeds of snakes, ball pythons are slow moving, low maintenance, and relatively small, growing only between 3 and 5 feet from head to tail tip. Though snakes aren\u2019t known to form attachments to their owners, over time a ball python will recognize your scent and become very comfortable with you\u2014oftentimes you\u2019ll become their favorite heating pad! Ball pythons, like all snakes, are carnivores. However, if you aren\u2019t too keen on feeding live mice and rats, ball pythons thrive equally as well on thawed-out frozen prey (often called Pinkies). Additionally, ball pythons generally only eat once a week, making upkeep easier for you. Ball pythons don\u2019t take up too much room, won\u2019t interfere with a busy schedule, and are not as scary as they appear. Consider bringing one home, and they\u2019ll surely slither into your heart.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in snakes but maybe a little intimidated by\u00a0ball pythons, corn snakes also make great pets. Though they share many similarities with ball pythons (live feedings, requiring of a heat lamp, etc.), corn snakes are generally a bit easier to take care of. This breed of snake is much less sensitive to temperature, meaning you won\u2019t have to stress about a couple extra degrees. While ball pythons are usually quite shy, corn snakes are curious and inquisitive, which may be more exciting for you as an owner. Typically, corn snakes will be smaller in size and weight than a ball python as well. One of the most appealing features of corn snakes is the wide range of colors you can choose from. From bright oranges, reds, yellows, blues, grays, and even purples, the color morphs of corn snakes are nothing short of sssspectacular!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>2. Bearded dragon. <\/strong>Bearded dragons are already regarded as one of the best\u00a0pets in the reptile world\u2014and for good reason! Docile, entertaining, and relatively low maintenance, bearded dragons can be perfect for everyone from a first-time pet owner to the most experienced hobbyist. Beyond a proper heating set-up and a clean tank, a bearded dragon will be more than happy with some crickets, fruits, and veggies. You\u2019ll likely get a laugh out of many of a beard\u2019s behaviors. Many beardies will wave their arms wildly when you enter the room. On top of being adorable, this is a sign of submission, basically saying \u201cI\u2019m friendly,\u201d or \u201cHey, you know where my food is!\u201d These lizards are slow moving, calm, and full of unique personalities. Because of their docile nature and easy care, bearded dragons make popular pets for young children, but many adults enjoy these silly lizards as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/a>3.
