Advantages: Unique, Mostly Easy To Look After, Look Cool

Disadvantages: Expensive To Run + Buy

Reptiles and Amphibians are excellent animals as they clearly have evolved from the dinosaurs and they bare a lot of resemblance, even today. You can admire them at the zoo or even keep them as pets as they are relatively easy to look after but some cost more than others. Amphibians don't resemble dinosaurs much, but they are still fantastic creatures and make really unusual pets.

I think tortoises are perhaps the best reptile pets as they are quite easy to look after and have great personalities. They can grow to quite a large size too and even live outside, but beware that they can dig very well! They live on a vegetarian diet of fruit and vegetables and can easily be let out in a hatch for some exercise. Most tortoises do hibernate in the winter months.

Lizards make great pets too. There are many different varieties such as Bearded Dragons, Iguanas and Chameleons. Bearded Dragons are common lizard pets as they aren't too expensive and look really great with their spiky appearance and large beard. Iguanas are usually the name of any lizard according to people, but not all lizards are iguanas - so don't just say it because it's the only name you know. Chameleons are really cute too but a bit harder to look after as they only drink from a drip and must eat live insects with nutritions on them (you mix the insects in a bag with some nutritional mix).

Snakes are good pets as they are really unique and cool. They aren't all violent and you can tame them and handle them too. They tend to eat larger things such as pink mice and other animals including rabbits when they get larger. Frogs and Toads are good pets and some of the toads have fabulous bright colours on them but some can be poisonness. Overall, I'd recommend a reptile or amphibian as a pet as they are different to all other pets, small and not all too hard to look after but some cost a lot to upkeep them.
