Well I have done research on both and I was wondering

if anyone has had any experience with either specie?

well also what is the best beginner reptile?

I have never had a reptile in my life

I hope someone can help!

I have owned both, tho it was many years ago that i had the Anoles. Both will need basicly the same equipment so if cost is a factor it will work out about the same.As iv said before you wont be able to handle anoles.Leopard geckos are easy to keep and the cost of food is about as cheap as it gets for a reptile.A leopard gecko is a beginers reptile.

Ive never had anoles. But I have and do own a leo. They are pretty simple to take care of. Thats the one I would go for. Only because of personal experience. Don't know about anoles.

well If my parents let me I will definetly well probobly get a Leopard Gecko
I ve seen soo many pictures and they are soo cute!

welll my mom didn't say when I can get one but I think it's either this month or next Month but I need Help so I'm gonna post another thread asking about all the stuff I need for leopard geckos but I'm sure my brother is getting one too!

My thread is: Leopard Gecko information Please help!! well something like that!

a dry tank is gona be 10times easier to maintain then a wet tank. so anoles would need a wet tank i beleive and leos dont . i would go with leo. unless your really motivated. i bought 2 chinese water dragons for my first reptile amphibian anything. they did fine and still are 6 years later. took a lot of reasearch and problems tho

same equipment? wet humid lizard and a dry hot lizard need the same equipment?

i have a green anole he is amazing to watch but my children find him very boring because they are not very patient lol they can be quiet hard to look after but i find it very rewarding. if you do get one be very aware of how it behaves we wanted two females and a male and the pet shop endend up giving us 3 males not good at all. so we have ended up with just the one. i am going to get a female when he is bigger as he is still a juvi and very hard to sex.

Leo's you can handle and make good interactive pets

Anoles you cant but do make great pets if you want a pretty well planted tall viv but not something you can handle.

Just depends what kind of pet your after really!

I have a Cuban brown anole. Nice pets, cheap food, easy to take care of. Only problem is that they don't live much longer than five years.
