Hello I have hermit crabs but I am not sure if they are really working out with my lifestyle. Mine barely move and if they are not better in a few weeks I will probably send them off to a more loving home and get my self a reptile. I have been really wanting a crested gecko but I am not sure if they are the best choice. I have read that leopards are great for beginners but that they can be mean. I think I would much rather have a crested but I am not sure. This whole process is confusing because I have heard good and bad things about both. I'm not sure if I should just keep my hermies or if it would be more exciting to get a reptile. Here are my questions if you answer all of them comepletly I will give you the best answer!!!
1. Should I keep the hermies or trade out for a reptile?
2.What is more exciting, a crested, leo, or hermie?

I suggest a bearded dragon.
in the way of "playing with" and "holding" neither. Hermit crabs don't do much and gecko's are really fast and will get loose. I had one and it got out so many times and half the time I had to have my friend come over and catch it. I'd suggest maybe some baby turtles- those are really cute and fun, or an iguana, LOVE those (: I had a mediterranean gecko so i can't compare the types you've named, I've also had 4 eastern fence lizards, and anole, 4 baby turtles (currently and they're my fave) and I know someone with an iguana haha but as for aquariums if they're little start out with a 10 gallon, a UVB and a heat lamp and you should be good. geckos and lizards don't drink from streams they drink the dew in the mornings so make sure you spray your tank once or twice a day. You can find complete care instructions online.
