most reluctant to put on the first list they were the most difficult and expensive to keep reptiles on that whole list they made the list because their personality makes them worth it well imagine that personality but even more beautiful and with easier and more affordable care bam collard lizards like beardies these will eat some vegetation but it doesn't make up a large percentage of their diet as it does with beardies this means that you don't have to stock veggies all of the time and you don't have the smells that beardies can produce they do eat a lot of insects but still not as many as beardies so that's awesome but they do have some cons while not as large as beardies they still need a big enclosure while not as hot as beardies they do need a hot basking spot and high intensity uvb they do eat a lot of insects which means you need constant access to feeder insects they're like bearded dragon light next on our list is the du merrill's boa this is genuinely just a better ball python they have many pros they are a snake that is big enough that it's impressive and not likely to be injured or lost while being handled but not so big that it's unmanageable they're beautiful i honestly think they're one of the prettiest snakes at least in terms of pattern that there are they have that same relaxed deliberate personality as ball pythons maybe even more so but unlikeable pythons they eat like boas they also don't seem to have the same sorts of shedding issues as ball pythons so this is basically a snake that is around the size of a ball python perhaps a bit bigger with some of the best features of ball pythons but without all of the worst things about ball pythons but they do have a few cons their size can be highly variable and this can make it difficult to know exactly what to plan for they eat rats rats are cool they're still snakes but the fact that they don't move much can make them a great snake to get you past your discomfort with snakes and they love food so again tap training is a great idea to avoid mistaken identity when getting them out of the enclosure i'd like to take just a moment to say thank you to our patrons at patreon who hopefully one day will send us to madagascar so we can film rad stuff like these guys in the wild chameleons lemurs it would just be a dream come true and jason's down jason jason wants to go so let's do it next on our list is the best pet lizard that there is that would be the green or emerald tree skink this is the only animal on this channel that i have ever declared to just be the best one that there is full stop seriously if there is a better pet lizard please tell me what it is it's difficult to imagine a more amazing pet lizard than this if i ever wake up from a dream and discover that the emerald trees kinks don't really exist i'll be sad but i'd be like of course they don't exist why would a little lizard be like that so let's talk about the pros
