A "different" beginners lizard
Ok I know that when people ask "I want to get a lizard. what is a good beginners one", people usually answer with a bearded dragon, or leopard gecko or blue tongued skink or uromastix (I think that's how you spell it), but I am going to (probably) get a lizard, and I wanted to get something a little different or uncommon. I really like large lizards, such as monitors, but I'm not quite sure that it's a good choice for my first reptile. I have read a bunch of care sheets on savannah monitors and how they are the best beginners monitor. Are there any other options for me to look at that are relatively large and uncommon that are good for my first lizard?
P.S. I am willing to get a large enclosure like this one: https://www.cagesbydesign.com/produc...-x-48d-h3.aspx
