I want to get a reptile. Suggestions?

[Azzarth]

Hello everyone

As you read in the title, I want to get a reptile of some sort. I've never owned one before, but let me explain why I think I'm ready.

I have plenty of room in my home for the...container? Cage? Well you hopefully know what I mean. I have a very large aquarium tank, with rubber seals around the lid, and several small holes in the top. I took it to my local pet store and the person that examined it said it was escape-proof for any reptile they sold. So I have the habitat taken care of.

I have other pets in the house, (4 dogs and a cat) but they shouldn't be a concern because I have a large walk-in closet that I've cleared out to use for storing the new pet. Safety is also taken care of.

The pet store I mentioned earlier sells everything that is needed for reptile-care, including frozen pre-killed mice in case I decide on a snake.

I have money that I've saved for a while just for this purpose, so I'll be able to get everything the new pet needs to live healthily and comfortably.


I think I'm pretty much ready to get a new pet, but I was wanting some suggestions on any varieties that are good for beginners. I've read lots online, but you all are real pet owners, so i want your real input before making my choice.

Thanks in advance for all the help everyone
