#585533 DMP View Profile	Need help I would like to get a lizard. For starters, I have a 10-gallon tank that is currently available. My mom has a daycare in our home and I need a lizard that will not bite off the kid’s fingers *despite how much I would like it to....* so I need one that has a good temperament. I looked at Petsmart and they have a reptile starter kit. Has anyone used these...are they worth/not worth my money? Also, what sort of lizard would have a good temperament, allow me to hold it, and would be good for a 10-gal. tank? I can get a larger tank later down the road if I need to. So once again... 1. Are the reptile starter kits worth my money? 2. What kind of lizard would be best for a 10-gal. tank? 3. What kind of lizard has the best temperament? Any help would be appreciated. If you could e-mail me at: , it would be great....Thanks!!!!
