Quoting limited to 5 levels deep<div class='spoiler_toggle'>Spoiler: click to toggle</div><div class="spoiler" style="display:none;">1. A heat lamp (so I don't have to keep it 90 degrees in my room so he can live)
2. A waterfall fountain thing (they like to drink from moving water)
3. A plastic cave thing that he can sleep and hide in
4. A few fake plants and bushes
5. These vine things you can get to hold sticks and things together
6. UV Lamp (provides calcium)
7. Thermameter (he needs two, I already have one, one for the cool side of the tank, one for the warm side)
8. Cricket dust (I can sprinkle it on crickets so when he eats them he gets extra calcium)
9. Another Tank (I'm going to start breeding crickets and baby crickets need a seperate enclousure)
And some other things for crickets, that's about it</div>

I only have experience with turtles and Chinese Water Dragons...
@Numner, idk a while now, I didn't count the months or anything

how much are lizards?

Well it depends on the species of Lizard, however that's just to buy the lizard, any type of lizard can cost alot and take alot of care in the long run, like for instance, you could do some research of various types of lizards, i'd recomend getting a species of lizard that eats fruit and vegetables (trust me, Insectivores, meaning they eat bugs and stuff, like Drake are even harder to take care of)
They aren't easy to care for like a dog or a cat because different species have different needs and things, Drake costed 25$, then around 30$ for the first tank, then 9$ for substrate (the stuff you put in the bottom) around 2$ about every week or two for crickets, not to mention I haven't even begun the major spending, heat lamps can cost around 50$ and UV lamps even more, Lizards can be major money suckers :X
Out of everything though a Heat Lamp is needed more than anything, right now i'm getting by because it's summer and my AC is broken, but Lizards need heat to survive, and youd need to get a thermameter too so you can watch humidity and temperature you can research different lizard species to see what they need, what temperatures and humidities they need, etc.

thank you im going to buy a lizard

According to the internet Bearded Dragons and Leapord Geckos are good beginner lizards, try researching them.

I'm too selfless to want a lizard :3

Leapord Geckos need to be in perfect weather or they get burns

Well maybe try a Bearded Dragon?
(only problems is it's a cricket eater, at most pet stores you can get crickets for around 20 crickets for a dollar or 2 dollars depending on the store)

[ExoticSilver77]

The crested geckos (If i read enough) can be fed on a powder mix in with water thing, aswell as some fruits.

1. CRESTED GECKO DIET ONLY:

The easiest and most convenient method of feeding Crested Geckos is to use the powdered CRESTED GECKO DIET developed by Allen Repashy. This diet has been formulated to contain all of the essential fats, proteins, minerals, and vitamins that cresteds need. According to the manufacturer, crested geckos can be maintained on this diet alone with no insects in the diet whatsoever. Allen has maintained his colony of Crested Geckos on this diet for many years.

Wonder if they taste like chicken.

 

[Vooloo]

Aww, I want a crested gecko.

But if it's expensive.....

 

[Thunder]

Some can go around $40 i think.

Not as bad as snakes, just tiny little ones can cost up to 100$.

 

[Svedka]

I might be getting a chameleon soon. c: That or a bearded dragon.

It all depends on if my dad is willing to help me pay for some of it. Chameleons can cost upwards of $120 for just the animal itself. Including supplies it's bound to go over $300, so :U halp.

But anyways, sweet lizard. He seems very happy.
